Serving Caviar with Style

Elevate your dining experience with our expert tips on how to serve caviar appetizers with style. From the choice of serving vessels to the accompaniments that enhance the caviar's flavors, we'll walk you through the finer details that make a difference whether you're hosting a grand event or simply indulging in a private culinary adventure.

 

Keep it cold. Caviar is best served chilled. Store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator, ideally between -2°C and -4°C.

Use mother-of-pearl or wooden utensils. Metal can impart a metallic taste to the delicate caviar.

Pair with appropriate accompaniments. Caviar pairs wonderfully with traditional accompaniments such as blinis, crackers, crème fraîche, chopped onions, chopped egg whites, and fresh herbs.

Presentation matters. Elevate your caviar experience by presenting it on a beautiful platter with ice, finely chopped onions, eggs, and a range of accompaniments. It adds a touch of elegance to the occasion.

Feel free to experiment with different flavor combinations—caviar's natural briny taste pairs well with citrus, capers, and herbs like chives and dill.
