osetra
Caspian luxury eggs
Osetra is a prized variety of caviar from the osetra sturgeon, native to the Caspian and Black Seas.
The eggs range from golden to dark brown, with a nutty, briny flavor considered among the finest.
Also spelled osetra, oscietra, or oscietre: We splurged on osetra for the anniversary.
