Classic caviar serving

Classic caviar accompaniments and how to serve caviar correctly.

• Always keep your caviar in its original unopened tin or jar in the refrigerator until just before ready to serve.  
• Do not open the tin or jar before you are ready to serve.  
• Take it out of the refrigerator 15 minutes to an hour before you intend to serve to it.
• Use a mother of pearl caviar spoon or a bone, gold plated. Never use stainless steel or silver to serve caviar.
• Once opened, the caviar tin or jar should be consumed within an hour for maximum taste.

The two most popular beverages served are chilled vodka, a very dry Champagne or sparkling wine. A dry white wine also works well.

4-8 oz tin of Black Caviar
