The experience of consuming caviar ( from surgeon roe) differs based on the type of caviar. Undeniably, the three types of caviar ( Beluga, Osetra, and Sevruga) are regarded as the finest ( the mecca) and the most exquisite. Additionally, all three types are served cold and must be eaten from a mother-of-pearl spoon to eliminate any metallic taste. The pairing with a blini, creme frais, and shaved truffles will elevate your experience, as it has done for royalty and celebrities for centuries. The rapture of just one single caviar pearl brings you immediately to the Caspian Sea and awakens within each individual the spirit of hedonism.
