What goes with Caviar?
Caviar consists of individual cured sturgeon eggs containing a soft interior within a delicate membrane. Salt level, bead size and firmness depend on the product, so a single fixed description cannot cover every tin. The reference form is ready-to-serve chilled roe with a concentrated marine taste, restrained oily richness and an intact bead texture rather than a blended fish preparation.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Caviar?
Choose a support that carries the roe without burying its small bursts of flavour. Mild starch, egg and cultured cream spread its salinity across a bite, while a little fresh allium brings lift. In a sweet or nut-based construction, restrict sugar and portion size carefully. Aggressive acid, smoke or hot spice can dominate before the caviar's own texture is noticed.
