Everything about caviar, the black gold

Caviar or fish roe consists of the unfertilized eggs of the sturgeon and is one of the most exclusive delicacies in the world. The name “caviar” comes from the Persian word for fish eggs, ‘havia’ (خاگ‌آور). The Persians were the first caviar eaters and strongly believed in the powerful effect of this “black gold”.

 

What determines the quality of caviar?

The quality of the caviar mainly depends on the efforts and expertise of the growers. For the highest quality, it is therefore best to work with recognized caviar varieties from reliable caviar farms and trustworthy suppliers.

To obtain the most typical, exclusive taste of caviar, a great deal of craftsmanship is required, both in the cultivation process and in the preparation. Especially, the diet of this prehistoric fish is very decisive. A strong, healthy fish naturally produces the best eggs. Every grower has his own formulas for the optimal cultivation of the sturgeon.

In addition, the water quality and the freedom of movement of the sturgeons are especially important. After the fish eggs have been obtained, salting, packing and the ideal storage conditions are also crucial for obtaining the perfect caviar.

 

“I’d do anything for caviar and probably did.”

– Henry Kissinger

 

The extinction of wild caviar

In the past, there was both wild caviar and caviar from farms. Wild caviar has been banned since 2010. So all the caviar you will be served today is cultivated.

 

In the past, caviar that was cultivated never achieved the same taste as the authentic wild caviar. But advanced production processes have ensured that the best growers can consistently guarantee top quality. The reason is that breeders have now better technology and knowledge and have now full control over the food and all living conditions of the fish.

 

What are the health benefits of caviar?

Caviar is an exclusive delicacy that is not only eaten for its delicious taste. The black gold is also very healthy and has a positive influence on stamina and libido, among other things.

 

Better stamina

Caviar contains a lot of iron and vitamin B12 and stimulates the production of new red blood cells and increases blood circulation.

 

Higher mental toughness & focus

Eating caviar regularly, improves memory and concentration by stimulating the formation of nerves. It also combats negative feelings such as sadness, irritability and anxiety.

 

Higher libido and fertility

Caviar, along with oysters and chocolate, is one of the most famous aphrodisiacs. As early as the 13th century, it was believed that fish roe would extend not only the overall lifespan, but also the time spent in the bedroom. 

The love guru Casanova was known for feasting on caviar before embarking on his romantic and passionate adventures. And Rasputin, the adviser to the last Russian Tsar, swore by caviar for his “endurance”.

One of the reasons is probably that caviar increases the production of the sex hormones, such as testosterone. In addition, caviar contains the amino acid L-arginine, which greatly increases blood circulation and thus stimulates lust and can increase stamina.

 

Smoother Pregnancy

Eating caviar during pregnancy can replenish iron and hemoglobin levels. The unsaturated fatty acids and countless other vitamins and minerals are also of great value for the baby and the pregnant woman. 

On the other hand, raw fish and caviar is often not recommended during pregnancy. It is therefore best to discuss the pros and cons with your doctor.

 

A radiating skin

The presence of omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants such as vitamin E make caviar a multi-use product for the skin. The antioxidants protect the skin cells and keep the skin young. Skin care with caviar ensures a velvety soft and radiating skin.
