Red caviar lovers are already looking at prices. But in addition to prices, you need to have an idea of how to choose this delicacy correctly.
Even expensive caviar may turn out to be a regular fake or expired, which is the worst thing.
It would be useful to remember how to choose and how to store red caviar.
Storage
There is no point in buying red caviar in reserve. The product retains its beneficial properties for a limited time and only if all necessary conditions are met.
Deadlines
If you managed to buy caviar by weight, and not packaged in factory packaging, then its shelf life is calculated in days and it is better to eat it as soon as possible - 1-2 days.
Once you open the caviar in a tin can, you can keep it in the refrigerator for a maximum of 7 days, but it is better to transfer it to a glass jar.
The product in its original packaging is stored within the time limits specified by the manufacturer and at a temperature of 2-4 degrees.
How to choose
It is considered that it is best to buy caviar in glass jars. In metal ones it is cheaper, but they say that the caviar can oxidize.
It is desirable that the eggs are no larger than average in size, transparent, and bright orange.
If the product is dark in color, it may taste bitter.
If the caviar is small, then it comes from trout, while the most delicious caviar is considered to be pink salmon and chum salmon.
Can it be frozen?
In fact, it would be better to eat it. The thing is that after freezing and defrosting, some of the beneficial properties are lost.
However, caviar is frozen. Food bags are used for this and it is stored for up to 1 year.
