Caviar is a luxury food made from the salted eggs, or roe, of certain fish, primarily sturgeon. The most prized types of caviar come from the Beluga, Osetra, and Sevruga species. The eggs are harvested, processed, and then salted to enhance their flavor and preserve them. Caviar is often served as a delicacy, typically on blinis or with crackers, and is enjoyed for its unique taste and texture.
Caviar is not only a gourmet treat but also a symbol of wealth and sophistication. It is often associated with fine dining and special occasions. The production of caviar is highly regulated to protect endangered fish species, making it a rare and expensive delicacy.
