• 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 unless absolutely necessary. While freezing can extend its shelf life, 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.
  
• The pearls should be glossy, firm, and intact, not mushy or dry.
  
• Caviar should have a silky texture with a smooth pop—never grainy or overly soft.

Please note, we currently do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and cannot deliver to P.O. boxes. Orders over $500 require a signature to ensure safe delivery.

• Authentic Black Caviar comes from sturgeon species like Beluga, Osetra, or Beluga Hybrid.
• Real caviar has firm, glossy pearls that separate easily—never mushy or dull.

“Malossol” is a Russian term meaning “lightly salted” and refers to caviar that has less than 5% salt content. This preserves the purest flavor of the caviar, unlike over-salted varieties that can mask delicate nuances.

• Higher-quality caviar is almost always Malossol.
• Enhances natural flavor rather than overwhelming it.
• Smoother, silkier texture with a clean, refined taste.

Pro Tip: Always look for Malossol-labeled caviar to ensure you’re getting a premium-quality product.

• Black Caviar should always be served chilled, never at room temperature.
  
• Place the tin on a bed of crushed ice to maintain its ideal texture and freshness.
  
• Use a mother-of-pearl, bone, or gold-plated spoon to avoid any metallic taste.
  
• Enjoy it on its own or with neutral accompaniments like blini, lightly toasted bread, or crème fraîche to let the flavors shine.

• For a full indulgence: 50g+ per person ensures a truly decadent experience.

• Champagne & Sparkling Wines: Crisp acidity and fine bubbles cleanse the palate, making them the most classic pairing.
• Vodka (Chilled & Unflavored): A traditional Russian pairing that enhances caviar’s purity without altering its flavor.
• Dry White Wines: Light, mineral-driven whites like Chablis or Sancerre complement caviar’s brininess beautifully.
• Sake & Lightly Oaked Chardonnay: For a unique pairing, premium sake or a subtly oaked Chardonnay can enhance the creamy texture of caviar.

• It’s best to avoid regular metal spoons, as they can react with the caviar and give it an unwanted metallic taste.
• Use mother-of-pearl, bone, wood, or gold-plated utensils for the best experience.
• When serving, opt for a glass, porcelain, or crystal dish instead of metal to preserve the caviar’s delicate flavors.
