Royal Oscietra caviar comes from the Oscietra sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) and is prized for its larger, firm eggs that range in color from golden brown to dark gray. It offers a rich and complex flavor profile, with notes of hazelnut, sea salt, and butter, often regarded as more robust than other caviars, making it a favorite among connoisseurs.
Traditionally, Royal Oscietra caviar is served chilled, accompanied by blinis, toast points, or crème fraîche, to highlight its distinctive flavors. It pairs beautifully with Champagne or fine vodka, enhancing its luxurious and briny character. For an authentic tasting experience, it is recommended to use a mother-of-pearl or other non-metallic spoon, ensuring the delicate flavors remain unaltered.
