• Unopened Black Caviar should be stored in the coldest part of your refrigerator, ideally at 1°C to 4°C (34-36°F). When stored properly, it can last up to 4 weeks before opening.
  
• Once opened, caviar should be tightly sealed and consumed within 72 hours for the best texture and flavor. Exposure to air can cause oxidation, which diminishes its delicate taste.
  
• Pro Tip: Store your caviar on ice while serving to maintain its perfect temperature and texture.

Freezing caviar is not recommended, as it alters the texture, making the pearls softer and less firm upon thawing.

• Once opened, caviar should be covered as much as possible to minimize air exposure.
• Store it in the coldest part of the fridge (never in the door, where temperature fluctuates).
• Consume within 3-4 Days for the freshest taste.
• Pro Tip: To maintain peak quality, place the tin on a bed of crushed ice when storing in the refrigerator.

• Fresh Black Caviar should have a mild, clean oceanic scent—never overly fishy or sour.
