Food items ship chilled with ice packs.
Caviar and Salmon Roe: Upon receipt, remove jars from carton and store in refrigerator. Place ice-filled plastic bag over jars to ensure optimal temperature (28°F–32°F) is reached. Gel packs in which caviar and salmon roe were shipped may be refrozen and alternated with ice, which needs to be replaced once it has melted. When properly stored, unopened caviar and salmon roe will keep for up to 90 days. Once opened, enjoy immediately.
Crème Fraîche: Upon receipt, store unopened in refrigerator for up to 30 days. Once opened, enjoy within 4–5 days.
Premade Blinis: Store unopened in refrigerator for up to 30 days. Once opened, enjoy within 5–7 days.

Premade Blinis: Preheat toaster oven to 350°F. Place frozen or thawed blinis on tray and warm for 1–2 minutes on each side. Alternatively, toast in lightly buttered or oiled skillet for 1–2 minutes on each side.

When serving caviar and salmon roe, never use metal utensils as the alloys can change their taste. Use the included mother-of-pearl spoons or utensils made of nonreactive material, such as glass, wood or plastic.
To serve, top warm blini with small amount of crème fraîche and add caviar or salmon roe.
