SILVER LINE Sturgeon Caviar in a tin IKRiNKA

The Siberian sturgeon is naturally native to the Russian region of Siberia, northern Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China. In Western Europe, it is the most frequently farmed species of sturgeon. Colloquially, the roe of female sturgeons and Osietra sturgeons is referred to as Osietra caviar. Due to its black color, refined aroma, and limited availability, sturgeon caviar has earned the title of "black gold."

Commercially, sturgeon caviar is also offered as Imperial Baeri. The color spectrum of Osietra caviar ranges from glossy anthracite to shimmering golden black. The eggs generally have a diameter of 2 to 2.5 millimeters and are considered medium-sized caviar. In terms of taste, the caviar is slightly savory, subtle, and has an incomparably delicate texture. Gourmets also appreciate this fish roe for its fine nutty notes.

What is the correct way to eat sturgeon caviar?

Sturgeon caviar is a sought-after delicacy not only in Germany. Gourmets around the world purchase these black fish eggs. The SILVER LINE sturgeon caviar sizes of 50 g and 100 g tins or jars with a low salt content (malossol) are particularly popular. Packaged in the classic tin, the aromatic pearls have a long shelf life when unopened and are protected from light. Connoisseurs enjoy the 50g/100g SILVER LINE paired with champagne, ice-cold vodka, or a dry white wine.

Another very popular way to serve the caviar is with crème fraîche, onions, and pepper. You should always eat the caviar using spoons made of mother-of-pearl, horn, wood, or plastic, and never with silver or metal spoons. Metal oxidizes quickly and would adulterate the taste of the delicacy.

Does caviar taste better from a tin or a jar?

While black caviar in a tin is traditional and reliable, jars allow for an unobstructed view of the exclusive delicacy. Connoisseurs can already assess the quality of the roe based on the color and grain size. These quality characteristics also determine, among other things, the price of the sturgeon caviar. However, the two types of packaging have no effect on the taste of the caviar.
