Caviar lasts 3 to 4 weeks max unopened in your your refrigerator. Store it at the bottom rear of your refrigerator which is the coldest.  Once opened, your caviar is good for 2 to 3 days, then it’s time to discard it.

Caviar is an exquisite food that brings excitement and luxury to any occasion. It creates an atmosphere of sophistication and elegance wherever it is served, so it goes without saying that it is very important to be mindful of the caviar you are serving: is it fresh? has it been refrigerated and handled properly?

Whether you're hosting a party or simply enjoying caviar by yourself, serving spoiled caviar should be avoided at all costs because outside of the change in taste and texture, it could cause illness.

Understanding the shelf-life of caviar and how to properly manage your caviar collection helps you to be able to enjoy your favorite caviar to the highest degree and prevent foodborne sickness.

It's worth noting that caviar served on ice only lasts for two hours if left out and one hour once ice at 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above.

Serving Your Caviar

Enjoying the decadence of caviar is an experience that elevates the atmosphere it is served in, so serving it properly helps to create a more delightful experience.

Leave caviar unpacked or unopened until it's needed. For best results, remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving.

Keep the caviar in its original container on top of a bowl of crushed ice if it's going to be served buffet style. This will keep it fresh while also allowing your dinner guests an opportunity to read the label and learn more about the caviar variety and where it comes from.

Again, it's worth noting that caviar only lasts for two hours served on ice if left out and one hour at 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above.
