Caviar Specialist Laura King compares two tins of the Royal Belgian Oscietra Caviar for a caviar tasting.
Oscietra (Gueldenstaedtii) – Country of Origin: Belgium
With a beautiful golden/brown colour, they have a nutty, mellow taste, which develops into a buttery sweetness, similar to lobster.
Historically the Oscietra egg is smaller than Beluga, but with increased farming, the egg size can sometimes be almost as large as its mighty cousin.
