Straight from the Caspian Sea, Russian beluga caviar is one of the most revered delicacies in the world. Less than 100 of the beluga sturgeon are caught per year, hence one of the principle reasons for beluga caviar's exclusivity. The harvesting of beluga caviar in Russia is a tradition that dates back through hundreds of generations, when many Russian fishermen received special grants in order to fish the regions where beluga was most populated.

The roe inside a beluga usually equals about 15% of its size and is removed of its fatty tissue. The eggs vary in color from off-white to silver or even dark gray and black. Unlike other types of seafood, caviar, especially beluga, must not be opened until ready for consumption. Beluga is enjoyed by many cultures in a variety of ways due to its natural nutty yet fruity flavor. Russian beluga caviar is considered to be the premium version of caviar throughout the globe and is typically served with a bowl of ice or champagne.
