Caviar has always been synonymous with luxury, but one of the best is without a doubt the famous, widely known and sought after, Iranian caviar!

But what exactly is it?
The roe from the wild sturgeon is what we call caviar, or khâviyâr, which is a Persian word! History suggests that the people of the Persian Empire were the first to ever taste caviar, believing -even to this day- it was a great source of energy and medicinal properties! Even though it appeared during the Roman Empire, it was the Russians, who established caviar as such a luxury since it was mainly known as the favorite food of the czars in old Russia! The best caviar today, comes from the beluga fish species only, is called “Iranian Diamond” and it has its origins in the northern Gilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan provinces which surround the Caspian Sea. The waters are as icy as they are brackish, but that is the reason behind caviars exceptional taste! That said, Iranian caviar is pricey, but if you’re on a wonderful Greek island vacation, it’s worth having a little taste of luxury, at a beautiful restaurant on the beach in Mykonos! An absolute dream!
