HISTORY OF BLACK CAVIAR

Sturgeon caviar (black caviar) refers to the number of national symbols. Since ancient times, it enjoys the fame of the best, most nutritious, tasty, delicious fish product.

Black caviar is rich in proteins, as well as vitamins A, E, and D, and other organic compounds necessary for the normal development of the body, skin cells and even for the normalization of blood pressure. .
Therefore, black caviar used to be fed seriously ill and simply weakened.

For many years, Russia held a natural monopoly on the production and sale of black caviar on the world market.
Monopoly collapsed after the revolution. The civil war and the years of devastation stopped the delivery of delicacies from Russia to Europe.

However, "holy place is never empty." Europe, who had known Russian caviar and loved it, found a way out. In the 1920s, the first "caviar houses" of Petrossian Paris and Caviar Volga, created by Armenians Nalbandov and Petrosyan, were opened in Paris..
They filled up the shortage of Russian caviar with supplies from Iran. Iran, in turn, hastily occupied the empty "Russian niche" in the caviar market, having established the production of sturgeon caviar. Since then, Russia has a serious competitor, which has to be reckoned to this day..

Currently in Europe, in addition to the above, there are also caviar houses “ALTONAER KAVIAR” and “DIECKMANN & HANSEN” in Germany. Generally, European caviar houses are not involved in the production of caviar, they only pack up the imported ones. Now it is caviar from Iran.
