Origine caviar tins are opened differently from other formats. Unlike ‘Boîtes Filles’, which are hermetically sealed and vacuum-packed, Origine tins are not clipped. These large formats are simply filled to capacity and sealed under pressure. To open an Origine tin, start by removing the vacuum bag and carefully cleaning the tin. Next, remove the elastic band that holds the lid in place. If you find it difficult to remove the lid, using thin, flat knives can make the process easier by helping to rotate the lid.
