The caviar of most fish tastes good, so it is consumed fried, salted and boiled. Black and red caviar, for example, is especially appreciated among gourmets; it is not cheap, but affordable. However, there is a truly unique caviar, which is incredibly difficult to get, even for a lot of money.
The most expensive caviar in the world
Black beluga caviar is considered one of the most delicious and healthy. However, it cannot be compared with albino beluga caviar, which practically does not smell like fish and has a completely unique taste and color. The caviar of this fish has a light cream color, shining with pure gold, which is why it is often called golden. It is incredibly tender and has hints of hazelnut on the palate. All eggs are almost identical in size and can be easily separated from each other.
According to those who have tasted this caviar at least once, it is impossible to compare it with anything, and its taste will be remembered for a long time.
Production of albino beluga caviar
Common belugas are listed in the Red Book and their fishing is prohibited by law, because the number of these fish has been greatly reduced by poachers. And albino belugas are rare. To get their caviar, these special fish have been bred for many years by the only company in the world - the Iranian company Iranian Caviar House.
Iranian Caviar House packs its products in small round-shaped jars, which it produces from pure gold of 998 assay value. Such packaging is the best match for this unique product both in color and in value. And it says Almas, which fully corresponds to this product.
The cost of albino beluga caviar
The price of this golden caviar on the world market is almost $ 44,000 per kilogram of product. This is due to the fact that the age of the fish, the eggs of which are used, should be about 100 years. The average age of belugas is 60-80 years, so there are not so many long-livers among the representatives of this species.
Despite such a high cost, there are a lot of people who want to try this expensive delicacy. However, to buy albino beluga caviar even for such fabulous money, you will have to wait at least four years - so long is the queue for this valuable product.
Previously, only the rulers of the richest countries could afford albino beluga caviar. In the East, it was served exclusively to the Shah, and for a sample without permission, the culprit's hand was cut off.
Only 10 kilograms of this delicacy are supplied to Europe annually. Of these, 1.8 kg are purchased by the London restaurant Caviar House & Prunier. But to try it there, you need to be a very influential person, and not just a rich visitor. Such a delicacy is served exclusively on a gold tray - a worthy design of this product.
