Description
Experience the essence of Sardinia with Bottarga di Muggine—an artisanal delicacy revered as the “Sardinian caviar.” Handcrafted on the sun-kissed coasts of Italy, this dried mullet roe is meticulously salted by hand and aged naturally, allowing the Mediterranean breezes to impart unparalleled tenderness and subtlety. Each piece is attentively monitored throughout the curing process, resulting in a bottarga renowned for its mild, refined flavor and delicate texture.
Produced by Sarda Affumicati, this gourmet treasure is celebrated worldwide for its authenticity and exceptional quality. The whole mullet roe is vacuum-sealed for freshness, with each piece weighing between 3.8 and 4.6 ounces—an artisanal touch that ensures no two are exactly alike.
Elevate your table with this versatile ingredient:
- Serve thinly sliced with extra-virgin olive oil, rocket, and artichokes for a true Mediterranean appetizer
- Grate generously over al dente spaghetti tossed with olive oil and a hint of garlic for a luxurious finish
