What temperature should unopened caviar be stored at?

Store unopened caviar in the coldest part of the refrigerator at 28°F to 32°F. Never freeze it, because freezing damages the texture of the pearls.

Should caviar be served directly from the refrigerator?

Yes. Open the tin close to serving time and move it directly to a bed of crushed ice so it stays cold at the table.

How do I keep caviar cold at the table?

Serve the tin over crushed ice and return any remainder promptly to the coldest part of the refrigerator.
