Why is beluga considered the best caviar?
Actually, beluga is the most expensive caviar, and therefore the most prestigious, but it’s not necessarily the best. Sometimes people associate higher price with higher quality. The truth is that rarity, rather than taste, drives the price of Beluga. Beluga is rarer than Osetra and Sevruga, so naturally it costs more. But like aesthetic preferences, taste is very subjective. Many people prefer Sevruga; most chefs enjoy Osetra, while some truly do love the flavor of Beluga. The best tasting caviar depends entirely upon your own personal taste.
