Sturgeon jelly is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that originates from ancient traditions of festive feasts. Sturgeon, one of the most valuable sturgeon species, is known for its delicate taste and subtle aroma. Made with a clear jelly base and served with caviar or roe, the jelly takes on a noble appearance and rich flavor. Light cooling gives it density, while garnishing with herbs, crayfish tails, and crab meat makes it not only exquisite but also festive. This dish is perfect for formal events and pairs wonderfully with white wine or traditional Russian vodka. Sturgeon jelly is a gastronomic masterpiece that combines nobility of taste, elegance of presentation, and the richness of Russian culinary tradition.
