Only the Real Thing – Distinguishing Red and Black Caviar: What You Should Know to Make the Right Choice

Nur das Wahre – die Unterscheidung vom roten und schwarzen Kaviar, was man wissen sollte um die richtige Wahl zu treffen

Only the real thing

Champagne is only authentic if it is produced in the Champagne region; Parmesan must come from Italy, and caviar only comes from the sturgeon.

Is there only black caviar?

Many a sparkling wine is produced with more passion and offers higher quality than Champagne; the same applies to Parmesan or a whole range of products with a regional or comparable designation. And caviar is no exception to this comparison. However, while roe from salmon or trout is usually relegated to "imitation" caviar in German, it is quite different in the "homeland" of caviar. In Russian, sturgeon caviar is simply referred to by its color as "chernaya ikra" (black caviar) and salmon or trout caviar as "krasnaya ikra" (red caviar).

Ultimately, there is only one reason to choose red or black caviar – your own personal taste. Because both are a gourmet experience!

Trying is the best solution!

Why not do your own personal taste test: for just €47.95, order your connoisseur package with sturgeon, salmon, and trout caviar, as well as WAKAME salad. And serve it with a classic baguette, pumpernickel bread, and/or potato pancakes and crêpes. Try all the combinations – and perhaps you can drop us a quick line to let us know which is your personal favorite.
