What is the Difference Between Red, Black, and Pike Caviar?
Red, black, and pike caviar differ not only in color but also in origin and taste qualities:
Red Caviar: Produced from the roe of salmon fish such as chum, pink salmon, or sockeye. It has a bright red color, rich taste, and slightly sweet aftertaste. Popular in Dubai and other UAE regions for its flavor and aesthetic appeal.
Black Caviar: Produced from the roe of sturgeon fish such as beluga, sevruga, or sterlet. It has a dark, almost black color, exquisite, delicate taste with a slight nutty hint. Considered more rare and expensive, symbolizing luxury and premium quality.
Pike Caviar: Has a light yellow or golden color, denser texture, and bright, rich flavor with a slight spicy note. It is an excellent choice for gourmets seeking new taste experiences.
Our products meet the highest quality standards, certified and praised by customers from the Emirates and other countries.
