Good caviar has a clean, elegant flavour.
The taste is often described as buttery, slightly nutty, and gently saline, with a smooth finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
High quality caviar should never taste strongly fishy.
Instead, the flavour should be fresh and refined, with each pearl releasing a delicate burst of flavour when pressed lightly against the palate.
Many first-time buyers are surprised by how subtle and balanced good caviar can be.
