Tsar Nicoulai Caviar FAQs

HOW DO I SERVE CAVIAR?

Despite the expanding culinary usage of caviar, it’s still best to follow the traditional handling and serving methods. Whether you’re having hors d’oeuvres at a corporate event or a small party at home, you must serve caviar in a non-metallic bowl placed inside a larger and ice-filled container.

Caviar must be kept between 26 and 34 degrees Fahrenheit to stay fresh. Keep in mind that air and heat are the greatest threat to the quality of your fine caviar. It’s also best to avoid using metal bowls, spoons, and utensils, which may impart a metallic taste to the caviar. 

The ideal utensil choice for serving caviar is a mother-of-pearl spoon. The pearl doesn’t hold flavor or transfer it. You can ensure that the caviar’s rich flavor will reign supreme.

WHEN SHOULD I ENJOY MY CAVIAR?

We advise against storing a jar for longer than 30 days. Fluctuations in temperature within a home refrigerator can affect the shelf life of your caviar. Unopened, it will last in the refridgerator until the best by date located on the bottom of your jar/tin. We do encourage you to serve and enjoy soon after delivery (within a week. Caviar is good for approximately 24 hours from the time that it is opened.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JARS & TINS

Our glass jars are packed in sizes from half an ounce to four ounces. They are vacuum sealed and allow for 60 days of refrigerated storage. Each jar has a best by sticker on the bottom. Our custom vacuum sealed tins allow for 30 days of refrigerated storage. Our tins deliver with a custom opener. For any questions about opening tins, just email or call us. In both cases, once opened our caviar should be enjoyed within a day.

HOW TO STORE MY CAVIAR ONCE IT'S ARRIVED?
