How to freeze caviar

Can. But you need to remember that caviar is an extremely delicate product, moreover, it is already frozen in seiners before it is delivered to the factory, where it is then packed into jars. And as we know, re-freezing is rarely successful.

But still, red caviar will survive if you freeze it again. It just needs to be done right.

Usually salting is done on site, but the water is drained rather carelessly. Therefore, all excess liquid must be removed using a colander with a fine mesh.

Prepare the container. It is better to place the caviar in portions in small baby food jars. Place the caviar in jars, pour a tablespoon of olive oil into each jar, mix gently, screw on the lid tightly and place in the freezer, where the temperature should be a constant -18 degrees. In this form, caviar can remain for up to a year. But in the case of red caviar, it is much more important to know how to defrost it correctly, so as not to end up with an incomprehensible puree that does not closely resemble the appetizing amber caviar.

Red caviar needs to be defrosted gradually. First, transfer it to the freezer, where the temperature is -1 degree, and in this chamber it should stand for exactly one day.Then you need to remove the jar and let it melt at room temperature.

Black caviar does not tolerate repeated deep freezing, so its place is in the freezer on a shelf where the temperature is not lower than -1 degree. The maximum shelf life at this temperature is no more than 3 months.
