Caviar wasn’t always considered a prestigious food, even though it has been enjoyed by humans for at least 2,000 years. Back then, however, it wasn’t treated as a gourmet delicacy. This changed during the Middle Ages, when caviar was used as a meat substitute, and to extend its shelf life, it began to be preserved in salt. This turned it into a delicacy that gained popularity among the aristocracy of the time, especially in Russia.
After the October Revolution of 1917, many Russians fled to France, bringing their beloved delicacy with them. The French quickly embraced the imported treat, recognizing it as a luxurious and glamorous dish best paired with champagne. From then on, caviar became an extremely popular luxury food, though its newfound fame almost led to the extinction of the best sturgeon species for caviar — the beluga. Fortunately, its extinction was prevented in the mid-1950s, when farmed caviar was successfully introduced to the market. Thanks to this, we can still enjoy this exquisite and prestigious delicacy today.
