How to choose red caviar Bashny.Net

Red caviar has long been an integral attribute of the festive table. We are so used to it, and even now we continue to follow traditions. I remember that we always had at least a small jar of caviar for the New Year holidays, even in the most difficult times. Part of the holiday, an unchanging attribute. In many families, it is now.





To make caviar a pleasant addition to the holiday, and not a huge disappointment, you need to choose high-quality. And tonight. "Site" will tell How to check for red caviar and pick the best one.

The best red caviar is caviar taken from fish of the salmon family. It can be pink salmon caviar, salmon or ket. Such caviar is most often orange in color with a red tint. If the caviar of fish not belonging to the salmon family, it may be pale, yellow or dark. For example, pollock caviar, bream, bobble or perch.

Caviar is extracted from fresh fish and immediately salted. That is why only a product salted during spawning (July-August) is considered real. The only way to save caviar is by preservatives. Without preservatives, it will be stored for no more than 4 months, which means that it will not stand from spawning until the New Year.





Therefore, using preservatives is normal practice. With them, the caviar is stored for up to 12 months, you can enjoy it all year round and in excellent form submit to the festive table. The most common way to store caviar is tin cans. However, in such a jar, we do not see the caviar itself, choosing it in the store. Therefore, you need to start with the quality signs that can be seen on the packaging.

Signs of quality caviar

1. The caviar jar should not be deformed or bloated. If you shake the jar, it should not gurgle in it. This indicates that the jar is well rolled, which means that the freshness of the product is preserved.
   
   
   
   
2. On the lid of the bank must be the date of manufacture, the assortment sign "IKRA", the address of the manufacturer, the number of the shift, as well as the expiration date. The marking on the lids should be squeezed from the inside. The absence of any information may indicate the dishonesty of the manufacturer.
   
   
   
   
3. According to the rules, caviar must be rolled to banks within a month after the ambassador. These dates can also be specified, you need to pay attention to this. This gives confidence that the caviar was rolled soon after catching and did not have time to spoil.
   
   
   
   
4. The list of ingredients should look like this: caviar itself, salt (from 4 to 6%), vegetable oil, E400 supplements (glycerin to keep the caviar dry), E200 (sorbic acid) and E239 (urotropin). There should be no more than two preservatives.
   
   
   
   
5. Antiseptics may also be present in the composition. They are designed to keep the caviar longer. However, their composition should not be more than 0.1%. If there are any more supplements, it is not according to the rules and does not meet the standards.
   
   
   
   
6. The bank must indicate from which fish of the salmon family the caviar is collected. If not stated, it may not be caviar at all.
   
   
   
   
7. It is also worth paying attention to the price. We do not recommend buying caviar at "incredibly low prices." A quality product simply cannot be sold at too low a price. By the way, ice cream caviar is much cheaper, but it is not so tasty.
   
   
   
   
8. After opening the can, you can also check the quality of caviar. In appearance, the eggs should be the same, whole, clean and uniform in color. The eggs should be elastic, with a slightly moist surface. The taste should not feel a sharp fishy smell. There should also be no unpleasant taste of acid or rancid fat.
