High-quality red salmon caviar cannot be cheaper than 2,000 hryvnias per kilogram, ie 160 hryvnias per jar weighing 80 grams. Too cheap caviar can be a fake. This was told OBOZREVATEL by the chairman of the board of the association “Consumer Confidence” Elena Kulikova .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When buying caviar, we focus on the price, we do not pursue cheapness,” she said.
As the expert explained, red caviar can be divided into two classes – from fish grown artificially (trout), and from wild fish (salmon or sockeye). The difference in price between the cheapest and most expensive caviar can be about 1000 hryvnias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, high-quality trout caviar will cost 1,400 per kilogram, or 112 hryvnias for an 80-gram jar. Pink salmon – 2000 hryvnias per kilogram (160 hryvnias per jar), and sockeye salmon – 2500 hryvnias per kilogram (200 hryvnias per jar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If the caviar is within these limits, then, by and large, this is normal. You shouldn’t buy a very cheap one, \u201dthe expert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added that it is important to pay attention to the shelf life of caviar given the spawning periods of salmon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Salmon spawn from July to September, and if the jar has a production date within that period, we understand that we have fresh caviar,” Kulikova explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added that caviar made from frozen raw materials can also be of good quality. “There are a lot of companies that catch fish and immediately freeze it, and then make caviar from it,” said the expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kulikova also called for avoiding caviar, which contains the preservative urotropin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
