How to choose quality caviar and what signs should be alerted

Price, color and attractive packaging do not always determine the quality of black caviar. When buying a delicacy, you should pay attention to the condition of the eggs, the amount of liquid in the bank, marking, storage conditions and information about the manufacturer.

The color of quality black caviar can vary significantly. The eggs are almost black, gray, olive and even golden. The shade depends on the type of fish, the degree of maturity of the caviar and the characteristics of production, so an unusual color in itself does not indicate a poor quality of the product.

A small amount of brine in the package is also considered acceptable. Wary the buyer should other signs: too much liquid, lost the shape of the eggs or the mass in which they stuck together.

The high cost of the product also does not guarantee quality. When choosing, you should take into account the reputation of the manufacturer, storage conditions and place of purchase. The package must indicate the manufacturer and his address, date of manufacture, shelf life and storage conditions, as well as GOST or specifications. Buying a product without the necessary labeling is better to refuse.

Attention is also needed when choosing red caviar. One of the signals may be the inscription “caviar mass” on the package. A structured or refurbished product can be sold under this designation, so it is important to carefully examine its composition and labeling before buying.

Thus, the appearance of the bank and the high price are not a substitute for checking the information on the package. The condition of the eggs, the amount of liquid, the composition and the manufacturer's data allow even before purchase to notice signs that may indicate features or possible problems with the product.
