Krinos Taramosalata Greek Style Caviar Spread 8 Ounce Jar

I have loved Taramosalata from Krinos for 40 years! I've ordered it here from Amazon several times and found it perfect each time. However! I do consider the temperature/season when ordering. If people complain about it being sent without insulation/ice/packs/in Styrofoam box/etc then you'll force Amazon to do that - or to stop carrying it. And if they do ship it in the special ways, they will have to charge us exorbitant prices due to the packaging, materials and shipping. Please do not make that happen. Use common sense and do not order this when it's hot outside. The photos showing the tarama separated inside the jar - no, that's not how it should be, I agree. An opened jar, of course, is not ok. Leakage... well, it has a high amount of olive oil and oils can seep, so, that's not great (and was not the case with my orders), but I can imagine it happening. This product has oil, lemon juice and has salt - all of which provide some "preservation". When other reviewers refer to it as "seafood", remember, it certainly is not as prone to spoilage as, let's say, shrimp or lobsters, etc. And, it is "canned" in the sense of "canning jars of jelly". I have no affiliation with Krinos or Amazon, I just don't want to have to pay a zillion dollars for special packaging and shipping when it is not really necessary. From my experience with this product, the extreme problems shown in those photos were unusual examples. Of course, I agree those particular shipments were not ok to eat, but usually, the shipments are fine. Anna James

Noooooo! Krinos has ruined the best product in their line! The chemical taste from the preservative formula is too powerful and makes one taste a terrible experience.

It was simply delicious.

The lid was loose, leaked everywhere. I threw it away.

This salad was decent overall — the texture was smooth and it definitely had that traditional salty fish roe flavor you expect. However it felt like it was missing a little something to really round out the taste. Personally I think adding onion would have made a big difference. That’s how I remember the original recipe tasting and it gave it a much better balance.It’s still a decent option if you’re craving caviar salad but just know it’s a little simpler than some of the more traditional versions

I used to be able to buy this at winco, but they quit selling it. I was so happy to find it online. If you like Greek food, you will love this. Wonderful on baguette slices.

It did not come refrigerator packed but it’s been cold out so it arrived perfectl! I won’t order it again when the warmer months come though. It’s a small jar wish it was a little bit cheaper but it is absolutely delicious so it is so worth it to buy again! It’s imported from Greece and this brand has been around since I was born so trust any product is from them to be delicious!

My container came with the lid broken loose with the glass, releasing CARP caviar which was all over the inside of the box and I didn’t realize that the glass was broken until I went to retrieve the opened container. It was hot just to add a more odiferously offensive smell. What upsets me the most is that this product cannot be returned, replaced or refunded…I’m incredibly appalled by this situation and strongly urge anyone who is planning on purchasing it…DON’TI feel as if I’ve been robbed!
