It is made with white roe from old and rare albino sturgeons and is best defined by its fluffiness, texture, aroma and flavor. The Strottarga Bianco is the brainchild of an Austrian farmer named Walter Gruell and his son Patrick. Its elaboration requires five kilos of albino caviar, which after dehydration yield only one kilogram of bright yellow powdered caviar. It can be used for pasta dishes, risotto, or spread on toast with butter. Also, this new caviar is laced with 22 karat gold. Its price makes it the most expensive caviar in the world: $308,757 per kilogram 0r 2.2 pounds. Those who have tried it say it has a strong and intense flavor, reminiscent of fresh fish.
