Russian caviar

Beluga egg luxury

Russian caviar is the salted roe of sturgeon from Russian waters, historically considered the finest and most prestigious variety.

The Caspian Sea sturgeon—beluga, osetra, and sevruga—produced caviar that set the global standard for luxury.

They served Russian caviar on blini with crème fraîche.

The term now often distinguishes traditionally sourced caviar from farmed or non-Russian alternatives.
