Generally, roe encompasses all of the unfertilized eggs produced by any species of fish. However, only sturgeon produce roe that can be classified as Caviar.

Unfortunately no, Beluga was listed as an endangered species and its trade, even if farmed, is prohibited in the United States. However, Beulga caviar alternatives include caviar from Osetra, Sevruga, Pacific and Siberian sturgeons.

Generally, caviar has a 3-4 week refrigerated shelf life. However, once opened, it is best to consume the caviar within 1-3 days as it will begin to oxidize like any other food.

We generally recommend a serving of Caviar to be at least an ounce of Caviar per person.

Traditionally, wild caught caviar presented three different types of caviar, Sevruga, Osetra & Beluga, today with farming that list of commonly seen caviar now includes additions such as Siberian Sturgeon & Pacific Sturgeon.

The main determinant factor for price is the time a sturgeon needs to produce caviar. The less expensive sturgeon, such as the Siberian Sturgeon, takes somewhere from 3-5 years to mature, while the Osetra may take upwards of 15 years to reach maturity.

Caviar is simply the roe of sturgeon that is lightly salted for taste using traditional malossol methods. Long considered a delicacy, caviar is eaten as a garnish or a spread, perfect for special celebrations or an indulgence. The term ‘Caviar’ traditionally refers only to roe from wild sturgeon in the Caspian Sea and Black Sea (Beluga, Osetra, and Sevruga caviars). Today, caviar is farmed around the world, and includes different sturgeon varieties, including Sterlet, Pacific Sturgeon, and Siberian Sturgeon. Caviar may also refer to the roe of different fish, such as Salmon and Trout

Caviar should be served chilled and over ice.

Traditionally, the sturgeon which produce caviar, were fished for in the Caspian Sea and surrounding waters. However, due to over fishing, wild caught caviar we barred in the 2000's, today caviar is farmed.
