How to…Caviar?
Store Caviar
It is best to buy smaller portions, as caviar is a semi-conserve and perishable.
It must be kept between 26 and 32 degrees Fahrenheit. You can surround it with crushed ice or put it in the cold part of your fridge (not in the freezer!)
As soon as the tin is opened the oxidation process starts, and the product soon goes bad if not consumed. Therefore, caviar must be eaten the same day it is opened.
Serve Caviar
Caviar is eaten with a special spoon made of horn, mother-of-pearl, or plastic, straight from the can. A metal or silver spoon should not be used because it can affect the taste. It is served on crushed ice or ice cubes to keep low temperatures.
It is typical to serve caviar with blinis and sour cream.
