5 Caviar Questions and Answers from Caspian Caviar

What does caviar taste like? On the face of it, this seems such a simple question, but it is really rather a tricky one to answer. The simple, if rather facetious, answer is “Like caviar”. The problem is that it really tastes like nothing else so it is very hard to describe. In our efforts to convey the taste, we in the trade often resort to using descriptions such as “buttery”, “creamy”, “with hints of the sea”, “whiffs of walnuts” etc etc. All may well be true to varying degrees,...

Caspian Caviar White

LAUNCH: Caspian Caviar White You may recall that last Christmas, and then again at Easter, we were able to source a small quantity of fantastically priced caviar that we then called “Privilege”. It was from a stock of Transmontanus sturgeon in Italy. We had such good feedback that we have been working with the producers to secure a bigger supply. This we now have, so we have now included it in our range as Caspian Caviar White. The Transmontanus sturgeon is also known as White sturgeon, hence why we named... Read More

Caspian Oscietra v. Black Oscietra

“Black Oscietra” sounds like some dark Knight from Transylvania during the Dark Ages, but I do in fact refer to Oscietra from the Black Sea, or at least originally from the Black Sea. I will explain. I recently went on a tasting tour which took me a long way east. So far east in fact, that I ended up in a place which still thought that it was part of the USSR, but that is another story. One of the most interesting aspects of the tasting visit was the fact... Read More

Vegetarian Caviar: Why Do They Bother?

From time to time, I come across inventions and creations which seem so utterly pointless, all I can think is “Why do they bother?” Into this category I must put such useless items such as electric pepper grinders, square steering wheels, iWatches and most of the things that I am given for Christmas. Also falling firmly into this category comes “Vegetarian Caviar”. For some extraordinary reason, some people seem to think that it is a sensible occupation to make spheres of seaweed, add some gloop and pretend that it looks... Read More

Sibirskye Caviar

This caviar comes from Siberian (Baerii) Sturgeon, which is a main stay of the farming industry, both in its pure form and use in hybridisation. The name, Sibirskye, is simply Siberian in Russian. I thought that up in a rare moment of creativity and have been pleased with myself ever since. The reason that Siberian Sturgeon are used so widely is that they mature relatively quickly for a sturgeon and can produce very good quality caviar. They mature at around 8 years of age and the caviar tends to be... Read More
