How to Store Osetra Caviar

Caviar is perishable and temperature-sensitive. Follow the storage temperature, use-by information and handling directions printed on the specific product package. Keep it refrigerated and minimize time outside controlled refrigeration.

Before Opening

Keep the sealed tin in the coldest appropriate refrigerated area and leave it sealed until close to service. Do not use a generic blog shelf-life estimate in place of the product label.

During Service

Keep the tin cold, commonly by nesting it over crushed ice, and return it to refrigeration promptly rather than leaving it on a buffet or table for an extended period.

After Opening

Cover the product, refrigerate promptly, and follow the package guidance for use after opening. Use clean utensils to avoid introducing contaminants.

Should You Freeze Osetra?

Do not freeze premium caviar unless the specific producer’s instructions explicitly call for it; freezing can damage the delicate texture of the pearls.
