Why Is Caviar Consumed With This Special Spoon? 🤔
Have you ever wondered why is caviar exclusively consumed with Mother-of-pearl spoons? This is Royal Ossetra caviar also known as "black gold" packed with protein and healthy fats. These delicate pearls are the eggs of beluga sturgeon, a fish native to the Caspian Sea which can take up to 20 years to mature, Crafting caviar is an exceptionally lengthy and costly process. It's rare, with a price tag reaching $34,000 per kilo. But what's the secret behind using a specific spoon? Using a metal spoon can alter the caviar's taste and even break the delicate pearls.
Unlike metal, mother-of-pearl doesn't react with the caviar's flavor and texture.
