How Is Caviar Sold?
Caviar is sold fresh in jars or tins. Sizes range from 1 oz. jars or tins to 4 pound original containers. Most typical in gourmet stores or restaurants is the 1 oz. jar. The store should have the Caviar stored on crushed ice or in a separate freezer set at the proper temperature. Caviar can also be purchased by mail order. It is shipped FedEx overnight in special containers. In fact that is how it is shipped to stores and restaurants nationwide.
