Product Description
This Mediterranean delicacy is sometimes called the poor man's caviar. Bottarga , in this case, is the roe pouch of the grey mullet.
In September, well fed mullets in the ponds of Cabras on the Central Western Coast of Sardinia swim into the nets of fishermen of Fratelli Manca, and the process begins.
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.
Thinly slice or shave the slab directly on toast, or season pasta, bitter greens, mashed potatoes, rice or scrambled eggs.

I bought a small package of Bottarga di Muggine (grey mullet roe) and was not quite sure how to use it. Received an e-mail from Gustiamo with encouragement and recipes. Made all the difference. This is a small company who takes great care of its customers, and I will certainly make purchases from them again.
