Caviar is one of the most prized and luxurious types of caviar, harvested from the Beluga sturgeon (Huso huso), native to the Caspian Sea. It is renowned for its large, glossy black eggs and delicate flavor. Beluga caviar is highly sought after for its smooth, buttery texture and distinctive taste, often described as rich, creamy, and slightly nutty. Due to overfishing and habitat degradation, Beluga sturgeon populations have significantly declined, making Beluga caviar one of the rarest and most expensive types of caviar in the world.
