ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sturgeon are ancient fish that have been prized for centuries for their roe, which is processed into caviar. The eggs are carefully harvested, cleaned, salted, and matured using traditional methods that require considerable skill and expertise. Due to the sturgeon's slow growth and the many years required before they produce roe, caviar remains one of the world's most sought-after luxury foods. Renowned for its delicate flavour, texture, and rarity, fine caviar has long been associated with royalty, aristocracy, and the finest dining establishments.
