Origin

The Sturgeon fish are rapidly stunned, and the two ovaries are removed by a process called 'stripping' that extracts the caviar through a small incision in the fish wall. Alternatively, the caviar can be extracted by performing a cesarean section, which can then be stitched up, allowing the female to continue producing roe. The third process for removal of the roe is by massaging the eggs out of the fish. The very fragile eggs are then chilled and gently removed by hand from the membrane by rubbing the eggs against a mesh screen. After washing, the pure eggs are poured onto a mesh to remove water and the egg extract can be made using different solvents like water, oil, and glycerin.
