This Mediterranean delicacy is commonly referred to as Sardinian's caviar.

Bottarga is the roe pouch of the grey mullet. The mullets' eggs are skillfully extracted, washed, purified, salted, cured into a dry hard slab which is coated in beeswax for preserving.

The color of the roe ranges from gold to amber. The taste is savory, briny with a hint of almond.

This grated version is ideal to season pasta, risotto, scrambled eggs and fresh cheeses.
