Caviar is known as one of the world's three most luxurious delicacies, along with foie gras and black truffles, and is known as black gold. Caviar refers to fish egg pickles, but not all fish eggs can be made into caviar, strictly speaking, only sturgeon eggs pickled can become caviar.
With the overfishing of wild sturgeon, many top caviar brands have switched to farmed caviar. And currently China is home to the world's largest farmed base, located at Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou. Now you can buy the world's best caviar at half the price without leaving the country. You can realize caviar freedom at home!
