For many years, especially since the mid 18th century, caviar has been one of the stars of gastronomy, especially in the northern hemisphere. It has been noted that in the late 16th century, in Spain, it was the food of the poor and the workers of the south of the peninsula, far from the most ancient customs in the East and the Russian area, where it was typical of the aristocracy.

Today caviar no longer comes from the large producing areas of the Caspian Sea and Black Sea in countries such as Russia, Iran or Azerbaijan; because for decades wild sturgeon were fished out of control, they have almost completely disappeared.
