Transcript of Caviar...varun
byk.Varun kumar
Traditionally the term caviar refers only to Roe from wild Sturgeon in the Caspian and Black seas
TYPES OF CAVIAR BELUGA
OSSETRA
SERVUGA
STERLET
BELUGA
ITS BASICALLY THE ROE OF STURGEON FISH.
The rarest and costliest is from beluga sturgeon that swim in the Caspian Sea.
Beluga caviar is prized for its soft, extremely large (pea-size) eggs.
Sterlet
small golden sterlet caviar which is rare and was once reserved for Russian, Iranian and Austrian royalty.
Ossetra
Next in quality is the medium-sized, gray to brownish osetra (ossetra)
Servuga
And the last in the quality ranking is smaller, gray sevruga caviar.
Commercial caviar production historically involved stunning the fish and extracting the ovaries.
Another method is extracting the caviar surgically (C section) which allows the females to continue producing roe but this method is very painful and stressful for the fish and is illegal in some countries.
Other farmers use a process called "stripping", which extracts the caviar from the fish without surgical intervention.
A small incision is made along the urogenital muscle when the fish is deemed to be ready to be processed.
An ultrasound is used to determine the correct timing.This is the most humane approach towards fish that is presently available but not all farmers use it due to the lack of knowledge in this field.
Extraction of caviar
Storage Caviar is extremely perishable and must be kept
refrigerated until consumption. Pasteurized caviar has a slightly different texture. It is less perishable and may not require refrigeration before opening. Pressed caviar is composed of damaged or fragile eggs and can be a combination of several different roes. It is specially treated, salted, and pressed.
