Recommended Recipe
This is the only caviar to be tasted in absolute purity!
Make sure you don't have any perfume on your hand.
Take a small amount of caviar with the mother-of-pearl spoon and place it in the hollow of your hand between your thumb and forefinger: the heat of the skin will make the cold caviar “open”
and releases its aromas finding the right balance of flavour and persistence.
If you want to serve it on a tray, the combination with classic blinis is fabulous: if you want, spread a thin layer of butter or sour cream which will help enhance the creaminess of this spectacular caviar!
Caviar should be stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator, usually the bottom shelf. Storage temperature: 0 °C to 4 °C
Once the can is opened, caviar must be consumed within 48 hours.
Champagne, it goes without saying!
