Sevruga caviar comes from the sevruga sturgeon, the smallest roe of the three main types of caviar. Like the beluga and the osetra, sevruga is native to the Caspian Sea and is mainly exported out of Russia. But what sets it apart is that the sevruga is actually slightly more accessible. Since the size of the fish is overall smaller compared to the beluga and osetra, sevruga eggs are generally smaller, as well. Its roe is very dark and ranges from black to dark grey to a lighter shade of grey.

Russia and Iran are the two main exporters of sevruga caviar with the product being considered a vital cog in both countries' industry. Although less expensive than the beluga and osetra, sevruga is still considered to be an extremely fanciful accoutrement. It is known for showcasing a buttery flavor that is smooth yet saltier and more intense than beluga.
