How to Taste Caviar Like an Expert at Home
Learning how to taste caviar like an expert at home starts with slowing down, tasting the roe plain, and paying attention to how flavor changes from the first aroma to the final finish. Many people ask, what does caviar taste like, and the best answer is that good caviar should taste clean, lightly briny, creamy, and quietly savory, with possible notes of butter, walnut skin, oyster shell, seaweed, mineral, or fresh cream. It should not taste harshly fishy, sour, muddy, metallic, or stale.
