In retail lumpsucker roe is mostly sold pasteurised in glass jars. It is produced in Iceland (Perles du Nord), Norway or the Faroe Islands. It is extensively used in Danish cuisine and therefore sometimes called Danish caviar but is usually not produced in Denmark.
Some countries, such as Germany, import lumpfish roe raw and salted in wooden barrels. It is then processed and coloured. The term German caviar refers to lumpfish roe imported from Iceland or Norway and processed in Germany.
