Not one festive table is complete without red caviar. It is this delicacy in simple sandwiches that becomes the highlight of the table. This product is extremely healthy and tasty. Along with useful qualities, it has a rather high price. The price puts us in front of a difficult choice. After all, you really want to buy good caviar, which would not only be tasty, but also meet all standards.
The first thing to look out for is the packaging in which the caviar is sold. Today caviar is sold in vacuum packages, cans and glass jars. It is better to have the caviar in glass. On the one hand, it will definitely not react negatively with polyethylene or plastic packaging. On the other hand, you can see caviar through the glass and get an idea of it.
The second thing to know is what the caviar should look like. Before choosing caviar, there are several nuances to consider.
1. Caviar should have a uniform, uniform color. Quite often, a poor-quality product is tinted.
2. Eggs must be intact and not damaged, with a moist elastic surface
3. Caviar should not be stuck together, but should not dangle. Shake the jar a little and see how the contents behave.
4. If the caviar is faded, it means that it is overripe.
5. If the caviar has a dark orange hue and dense walls, it means that it was collected from already stale fish.
The third thing to think about is the price. The fact is that the low price speaks of the poaching origin of the caviar. Poaching caviar is bad because it does not comply with GOST standards. Such caviar is packed in questionable places, it can be spoiled, overripe or not fresh.
Fourth, these are expiration dates. Be sure to pay attention to the expiration dates, otherwise you risk your health and the health of your loved ones. Be biased towards packages with torn or greased shelf life. Caviar by weight should generally be bought carefully. It is better to do this in season, because further storage conditions are almost impossible to trace.
The fifth condition, correct purchase, is the manufacturer. If you want to choose the highest grade caviar, buy products from recognized leaders. Make sure that the place of packaging is indicated on the can and it is better if this is the place where the caviar was collected.
