Salted roe of the sevruga sturgeon is one of the most common and renowned caviar varieties in the world. Native to the Black and Caspian Sea, sevruga reproduces faster than other sturgeon varieties, which makes the caviar plentiful and more affordable.
Although small in size, the crunchy caviar beads are packed with salty, buttery flavors and usually range from light gray to black. Although it is said that this specialty is best enjoyed plain, eaten exclusively with a pearl or wooden spoon and paired with Champagne, sparkling wines, or vodka, it is also commonly combined with blini pancakes, potatoes, or bread.
