Various Kinds Of Caviar

By Charisse Claypole


On the subject of fresh caviar it will require a preservation process or else it usually has no taste. By preserving the caviar in brine for a minimum of four weeks the caviar will reach its true potential in flavor.

Before you decide on buying caviar you must establish what type of flavor you are looking for. Below is a list of different types that can help you make the best decision on your purchase:

Beluga

Is produced by the Sturgeon fish, this caviar is ranked as the highest grade possible for caviar. It can vary in color from silver, gray and black, the eggs are the size of a pea. The texture and taste is buttery and creamy.

Sevruga

The eggs are small and come in a gray color the flavor is more saltier than the Beluga caviar. You will get more eggs in a serving simply due to the fact that the eggs are smaller.

Osetra

The eggs tend to be a medium size and the color can be anything between gray and brown, it tastes almost nutty.

Sterlet

This variety of caviar is regarded as nearly extinct, the eggs have a golden color. You might struggle to find any on the market. It was the most expensive caviar around.

Trout caviar

From the Rainbow trout fish the eggs are small and orange in color, the caviar yields a mild flavor. As a result of farming of this fish the caviar is less expensive and offers a good flavor.

Lump fish caviar

This caviar is easily the most popular on the market as it is the most affordable, the eggs are dyed red or a black color.

Tarama caviar

Eggs from the Carp fish, the color is usually orange and this caviar is typically smoked before it goes on sale.

American caviar

From the Paddle fish these eggs are medium in size and are available in various gray colors, the flavor is earthy.

Red caviar

These eggs come from the Salmon fish they're medium in size and are available in orange or a deep red color. This is a great substitute from the Sturgeon fish varieties.

Whitefish caviar

The eggs of this fish are small and golden in color. It yields a simpler flavor so they can be used in several ways.

The more expensive types of caviar would be better served on their own. The caviar should be as cold as possible, don't use any metallic bowls or utensils as the caviar can oxidize causing the flavor to alter. You should try and place the caviar in a small bowl and after that place the bowl in a larger bowl which has ice in it.

Other types of caviar go well with unsalted crackers, lemon wedges, creme fraiche or sour cream. Hard boiled eggs can also be a good accompaniment for your caviar dish.

Caviar is considered to be an expensive dish therefore it is best to serve caviar on stylish dishes and decorate the plate with lemon wedges and maybe even some parsley. When shopping for caviar try to taste the caviar before buying it as it is usually quiet costly.
