In serving caviar, freshness is the key.

• Never cook the caviar. Caviar must be eaten raw
• Serve caviar chilled but not frozen
• Don’t spread or smash the caviar; you’ll break the delicate skin of the eggs and destroy the texture
• The best way to enjoy caviar is by spooning it out of a very cold crystal glass
• When serving, show that you’ve put some thought into it and serve it with white bread, blintz or pastry bread, lightly spread with artisanal butter
• Pair your caviar with either French or Italian “bubbles” and enjoy

Though caviar can be stored unopened in your refrigerator for up to 1 year, it should be consumed at once upon opening
