Bottarga from Sardinia is considered the best in the world this dried Mullet Roe, is still salted by hand and checked day after day, until the Mediterranean salty breezes blowing in through our aging cellars do their job – creating one of the tenderest and mildest Bottargas you will ever taste.

Thought to have been introduced by the Phoenicians 3,000 years ago, bottarga (from the Arabic battarikh) is made in several places around the Med, but the variety made in the Cabras lagoon in the west of Sardinia, is regarded by many as the best.

Description

Mouthfillingly savoury but with a hint of sweetness and a clean, almondy scent, rich amber-coloured Cabras bottarga is also wonderful served in thin slices drizzled with olive oil as an appetiser with drinks – or grated like cheese over a simple pasta with fresh tomato sauce.

Bottarga

Cabras’s climate and waters are just right for grey mullet, which are caught in September when they’re at their fattest. The pairs of egg sacs are extracted whole, steeped in salt and pressed. Three months or so of air and sunshine then do the job of drying it into the prized “Sardinian gold”.d like cheese over a simple pasta with fresh tomato sauce.
