Pearl Gosudarev Zakaz Salmon Caviar 2 lb

Overview

A 907 gram, roughly 2 pound can of red salmon roe, salt-cured in the traditional style and sized for catering or entertaining rather than a small jar for one meal.

This is a large-format can of salmon caviar aimed at events and holiday spreads rather than everyday use, given the 2 pound size most home cooks would not go through quickly. It's salt-cured rather than flavored or smoked, so the taste depends mainly on the roe itself and how it's served, whether on blinis, in sushi or straight from a spoon.

• 907 gram (2 lb) can of red salmon roe
• Traditional salt cure
• Large-grain, firm pearls
• Sized for events and catering rather than single servings

Who it's for

Hosts stocking a large spread for a party, holiday table or catering job who need caviar in bulk rather than a small jar. Not the right size for a household that just wants to try salmon roe once or twice a year.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

This is red salmon roe cured with salt in the traditional Eastern European style rather than smoked or flavored, so the eggs are meant to be firm and pop rather than soft. Because it ships in a single large can rather than smaller resealable jars, any unused portion needs its own airtight container once opened, since a 2 pound can will outlast most single gatherings.
