From the Juneau based caviar producer: “This Highly prized, wild Alaska Red Salmon caviar is shelf stable and ready to eat, no rinsing or preparation needed. First, we select only the best wild Salmon stock taken from the Glacier fed Southeast Alaskan Waters. Then, using a trade secret method, we make the product shelf-stable while maintaining the delicate integrity of the roe eggs. Finally, we offer a smoked variety or a regular flavor in 1.75 oz jars. No refrigeration required until opening. Choose from our two varieties of tasty pearls.”
