· Who knows when sturgeon roe was first salted and eaten as "caviar". Maybe some cave man wanted to impress his mate on Valentine's Day. The first written record of caviar was from Batu Khan (grandson of Ghengis Khan) in the 1240's. The caviar industry started in Eurasia and around the Mediterranean. Sturgeon roe was heavily salted and packed in wooden casks. The heavy salt allowed extended shelf life. Caviar did not become worldly until the latter part of the 1800's when the French started importing the delicacy from Russia.

What are the things that you need to know before you buy Caviar?

First, one should consider the budget if one wants to buy caviar. Expect that it will cost anywhere from $9 up to $125, depending on the caviar type. Buy caviar only in high end stores and do not buy caviar in local supermarkets. When you buy caviar, another important thing to know is to look for the word "Malossol" on caviar's tin. This term is a good indicator that the caviar is lightly salted and is of high quality. One last tip is do not judge a caviar by its price. The most expensive and rarest caviar does not always mean that it tastes better.
