Serving Caviar

To maintain the freshness and quality of your caviar, it's crucial to store it at temperatures between 26-35°F (approximately -3 to 2°C). Your refrigerator is the ideal place for this, as it provides a controlled environment that keeps the caviar at its best.

When your caviar container remains unopened, it can maintain its optimal condition for a period of 4-6 weeks. The key is to ensure the tin remains sealed, protecting the delicate eggs within.

Once you've opened the tin, your caviar will continue to delight your senses for 3-5 days. Monitoring its freshness is a sensory experience - rely on your sense of smell and observation of the eggs. Fresh caviar should maintain its characteristic aroma and appearance.

Air is the natural adversary of caviar, as it can compromise its pristine quality. For this reason, it's advisable to purchase caviar in smaller containers, enough for a single serving or seating. This way, you can fully enjoy your caviar without worrying about preserving the remaining portion.

Should you find yourself with more caviar than initially served, follow these steps to keep it fresh:

• Gently spread the remaining caviar flat using a mother of pearl or plastic spoon, taking care not to damage the delicate eggs.

• Cover the caviar with plastic wrap, pressing it gently to eliminate any air space between the eggs.

• Seal the container with a lid to ensure airtight protection.

The remaining caviar should be consumed within the next 3-4 days to ensure it maintains its exceptional taste and texture. After all, savoring caviar is a celebration of the senses, and preserving its perfection is our shared commitment.
