Updated: Dec 4, 2022


Like many who have never encountered this delectable seafood, you may be asking, "What is caviar made of?" Caviar is not made; it is harvested. A caviar is a fish egg or roe of a particular female fish. You may wonder why not all fish eggs can be considered red caviar. So what fish does caviar come from? Real caviar comes from sturgeon fish.

Types of sturgeon fish

Sturgeon caviar belongs to the fish family. These unique aquatic species' age of several hundred million years goes back to the Jurassic era. Caviar fish is known as the world's living fossil.

Out of 27 species of caviar in the world, only six can be found in the Mazandaran sea. Elephant fish, Russian diced fish, Iranian diced fish, sheep fish and ozone fish are among the species of Mazandaran sea sturgeon. Another name is black pearl caviar.

Have you heard of Diamond Caviar? The Almas caviar price is so high that it has earned the title of the most expensive caviar in the world.

Although caviar fish meat is not so high, caviar eggs have a price like gold. Caviar eggs are divided into different types based on color, the most important of which are golden caviar eggs, red caviar eggs, and, most importantly, black caviar eggs.

Caviar is a strong rehydrator. Supplying enough water and nutrients makes the skin highly resistant to environmental changes. In addition, this food helps to heal skin wounds.

It reduces the risk of heart disease.

The omega-3 oil in this food guarantees the health of the arteries and heart due to its antioxidant properties. Therefore, it is used as an immune booster of the cardiovascular system.

Consumption of caviar provides vitamin D needed by the body to increase the immune system's strength. This makes the body resistant to viral diseases such as colds. In addition, reducing free radicals in the body also reduces other problems, such as inflammation in the organs.

Caviar is very useful for the eyes

The eye is one of the body's most sensitive organs, which is exposed to many damages during life. One of the most critical damages to the eye is free radical reactions on the cornea and retina. In this case, the eye loses its vision over time.

Due to its high amount of antioxidants in the form of vitamins and fatty acids, this food controls the reactions of free radicals on the eye's cornea.
