Caviar, the salted roe (eggs) of sturgeon fish, has been a symbol of luxury and sophistication for centuries. The ancient Persians were known to indulge in caviar as early as the 4th century BC, and it soon spread to become a staple in Russian and European aristocracy. The delicacy gained popularity in the United States during the 19th century, particularly in New York City's elite circles.

A Brief History of Caviar

In the early 20th century, caviar became a major industry, with the United States, Russia, and Iran emerging as top producers. However, overfishing and pollution led to a significant decline in sturgeon populations, causing caviar prices to skyrocket. Today, most caviar is farmed sustainably, ensuring a steady supply of this delicacy while protecting the environment.
