Storage of Caviar
Caviar should be placed in the coldest section of your refrigerator, -3 and +3 degrees C However, do not freeze.
Unopened fresh caviar will last 2-3 weeks, but once opened should be eaten right away or at least within 2-3 days.
Air and temperature are the greatest threat to storing caviar correctly. If some caviar is left in the tin, it should be covered with plastic wrap directly on surface of the roe, with the lid put back on and stored in the refrigerator.
To serve, remove caviar from the fridge and let it stand unopened for about 15 minutes.
The Caviar tin or jar can be served directly on crushed ice or placed in a chilled caviar server.
Caviar should be served with a non-metallic spoon - usually mother of pearl.
There's very little preparation necessary. Simply place the tin of caviar on a bed of ice, use a mother of pearl spoon and serve the roe on plain toast or blinis. Most purists prefer their caviar natural and don't even use sweet butter on their toast since there is enough oil in the caviar itself.
Caviar is traditionally served with plain white thinly sliced bread, toasted with the crusts removed, and a small amount of unsalted butter. Typical garnishes are: lemon, chopped egg, crème fraiche.
Caviar should not be served with anything too strong in flavor to overwhelm its delicate flavor. Frozen VODKA or CHAMPAGNE are the two most popular beverage accompaniments.
