What is the dominant and extremely rare ingredient that makes up the base of “Beluga Caviar”, one of the most expensive dishes in the world ?

75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Huso huso sturgeon eggs

Beluga caviar is the most prestigious and expensive of caviars, coming exclusively from the Huso huso sturgeon. This massive fish, which can live over a hundred years, is found mainly in the Caspian Sea. Its rarity comes from the fact that a female can take up to twenty years before reaching sexual maturity and producing her precious light gray eggs. The creamy texture and delicate taste, with hints of hazelnut, make it an exceptional product protected by strict international regulations to avoid the extinction of the species.In a context of tensions around natural resources, the preservation of the sturgeon is a symbol of the necessary cooperation between riparian nations to safeguard a unique biological and gastronomic heritage. Passing on this knowledge raises awareness of the fragility of our most precious ecosystems.
