]]> Caviar, often linked to all things fancy, has been a coveted dinner party essential for centuries. But how well do you really know it? Let’s dive into some fun facts about this luxurious food.

Caviar Didn’t Start in Russia

Forget what you’ve heard – “caviar” didn’t come from the Russian word “Ikra.” Instead, it comes from the Persian word “khavyar,” meaning ‘egg-bearing’. The journey begins with the Persians in the 4th century, who believed sturgeon fish eggs made them strong. This tradition spread across cultures, keeping the allure of caviar alive.

Caviar Used to Be a Depression Cure

Back in the day, caviar wasn’t just a tasty treat but also used as a remedy for feeling low. Packed with nutrients like calcium, protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, and a bunch of vitamins, caviar was more than a luxury snack. So, when you enjoy those tiny pearls, know you’re getting more than just deliciousness.

Not All Caviar Was Born Equal

There are actually several, different kinds of caviar, and three main ones: Beluga, the rare and expensive star; Ossetra, a bit easier to find but still fancy, and Sevruga, the most budget-friendly kind. Each type offers a unique flavor, proving that savoring this delicacy doesn’t always mean spending a fortune.

]]> A rare type of caviar known as Sterling Caviar’s Two Color Caviar is available for the public for the first time ever. Until now, this caviar could only be found at Benu restaurant in San Francisco, where chef Corey Lee serves it as a part of a $325 tasting menu.

The Two Color Caviar is known as being delicate and produced in limited quantities. The Sterling company, however, has recently announced that their famous product will become available outside of Benu restaurant for the first time, so that anyone interested can buy it for the holidays. 

The prices for this special caviar are steep, though. They start at $128 for just 30 grams and go up to $4,793 for a kilogram (around 2.2 pounds). Sterling ships their caviar to the U.S. only, so if you live elsewhere, you’ll have to wait for another opportunity to get it.

Would you get it as a special gift for yourself or someone in your life or do you believe that it’s just too expensive?
