Red caviar

Salting red caviar begins by simply removing it from the fish and separating it from the film.

Now you need to salt it. To do this, add 85 grams of salt to 1 kg of caviar. To preserve the rich red color of the caviar, 1 gram of food-grade potassium nitrate is added to it.

The next step is to put the caviar in jars (tightly) and transfer them to the cold for saving and salting. After 2-3 months, the caviar will be completely salted, after which it will be completely ready to eat. Caviar that has been preserved with high quality has a brick-red color and a salty, pleasant taste.

Also, you can get creative with caviar and create different culinary masterpieces. Thus, home-salting red caviar using this recipe will significantly help you save money. Good luck!
