How to serve caviar?

Caviar is an extremely delicate delicacy, and careful handling is essential to preserve its texture and flavor.

Caviar is tender and fragile, so always handle it with care. When spooning it out, lift it gently to avoid damaging the delicate eggs. If spreading it, ease the caviar softly across the surface.

Always serve caviar with a non-silver spoon. Silver or other reactive metals can oxidize caviar and impart an unpleasant metallic flavor. Instead, opt for spoons made from materials like mother-of-pearl, bone or ceramic. These materials preserve the caviarʼs pure flavor.

Mother-of-Pearl spoons are traditionally used for serving caviar due to their non- reactive material and elegant pearly look, which ensures the flavor remains untouched.

Temperature for Serving:
Remove caviar from the refrigerator 10 - 15 minutes before serving. The caviar should be kept cold but never frozen, and the jar or tin should be opened immediately before serving to maintain freshness.

Caviar should never be cooked, as heat will make the roe tough and ruin its texture. If caviar is part of a dish, it should always be added as a garnish at the very end or served alongside. This will preserve the delicate nature and flavor of the eggs.
