The ideal storage temperature for Osetra caviar is between 28°F and 32°F (-2°C to 0°C). Maintaining this range ensures the caviar stays fresh without freezing, which can ruin its texture.
Air exposure accelerates oxidation and degrades caviar quality. Always keep the caviar in its original tin or jar to maintain an airtight seal.
Caviar is highly absorbent and can take on the odors of nearby foods like garlic or onions. Store it separately from strong-smelling items to preserve its clean, briny aroma.
Pro Tip: Place caviar containers in odor-proof storage boxes for additional protection.
When stored properly at the recommended temperature, unopened caviar can last between 4–6 weeks. Ensure the packaging remains sealed for maximum freshness.
After opening, Osetra caviar should be consumed within 2–3 days for optimal flavor and texture.
Pro Tip: Serve smaller portions to avoid exposing the entire tin to air unnecessarily.
Metal utensils can react with caviar, altering its flavor. Instead, use mother-of-pearl, plastic, or bone spoons.
Always serve caviar on a bed of crushed ice to maintain its ideal serving temperature throughout the meal.

The delicate eggs can burst with rough handling. Scoop gently and avoid vigorous mixing.
