Caviar is known for its subtle, buttery flavor and high price. It should always be served cold. In recent years, over-fishing in the Caspian Sea has greatly depleted sturgeon populations. Please consider using caviar and roe from more abundant species until the Caspian Sea sturgeon populations can recover. Malossol, or lightly salted caviar, is considered to be the highest quality. Caviar that doesn't make the malossol grade is used to make pressed caviar = payusnaya. Fresh caviar is considered much better than the pasteurized version. If substituting an inferior caviar, consider perking it up with a splash of fresh lemon juice.
