Caviar comes from various sturgeon species, and each type has unique characteristics. The main types are:

• Beluga: The largest caviar eggs are light in color (from silver to pale gray) and have a delicate, buttery taste. It's considered the most luxurious and expensive.
• Ossetra: Medium-sized caviar eggs, ranging from golden to brown. It has a nutty, earthy flavor and is highly regarded.
• Sevruga: The smallest caviar eggs, dark gray or black. It has a more intense, salty flavor and is usually more affordable.
• Hackleback, Paddlefish, and others: These are alternatives to traditional sturgeon caviar and are often less expensive. They offer a slightly different taste and texture.

Caviar varies in flavor, from mild and creamy to bold and briny. When selecting, think about your taste preferences:

• Delicate Flavors: Beluga or Ossetra caviar, known for their mild and buttery taste, are great choices.
• Stronger Flavors: Sevruga and certain types of roe (like Paddlefish) have a stronger, more pronounced brininess.
• Salt Content: Some caviar may have more salt than others, affecting the overall flavor. If you're not sure, try to sample the caviar before purchasing.
