Caviar Storing and
Serving Suggestions

  • Caviar should be transported on ice to maintain a temperature between 31º F and 34º F. The eggs will spoil at temperatures higher than 35º F.
  • With proper storage, caviar will remain delicious for at least six weeks.
  • Traditional serving dishes are made of glass, crystal or mother-of-pearl. Utensils are non-metallic, since metal oxidizes the roe and will spoil the flavor.
  • Many caviar connoisseurs agree that first grade caviar should be served pure with no lemon, egg, onion, toast point or cream garnish. Just place the caviar in your mouth and burst the roe against your palate.
  • Many caviar lovers serve all grades of caviar (including salmon roe) by itself or with garnishes, depending on what they like.
  • Both connoisseurs and lovers agree that caviar is a perfect match with chilled vodka or brut Champagne.
