Caviar Storage Caviar Storage Some caviar can be stored frozen for up to a year, and some others really should never be frozen at all, but should only be kept refrigerated. Caviar should be consumed on the same day that the tin is opened.
Q. How long does caviar last? Storage is key. Caviar in unopened vacuum sealed jars will maintain their freshness for five to six weeks (a few weeks longer if stored on ice in the refrigerator); and unopened tins will be fresh for about two weeks. Once a jar or tin is opened, the caviar should be consumed within two to three days for maximum flavor. It can be eaten beyond then, but it begins to deteriorate. Q. What is the best way to store caviar? Keep caviar in the coldest part of the refrigerator, usually the back (never on the door or in the storage bins, which are warmer). Caviar should be served well-chilled to bring out its subtle flavors. Thatâs why caviar serving dishes have separate compartments for ice. Q. Can caviar be frozen?
