• Grey mullet bottarga, salt-cured and air-dried in the Sardinian and Sicilian tradition.
• Shave or grate over pasta, risotto or eggs for an intense, briny umami hit.
• Bottarga is the cured roe sac of the grey mullet, a Mediterranean tradition shared between Sardinia and Sicily.
• Each pouch is hand-massaged to release air, packed in sea salt, then dried slowly until the texture firms and the flavour concentrates.
• The result is a dense, amber block with an intense salty-nutty flavour, often called the truffle of the sea.
• A small piece carries a long way: shave thinly over pasta with olive oil and lemon, grate over scrambled eggs or risotto, or slice as an antipasto with unfiltered olive oil and lemon juice.

What should you prepare before you start?

3. A dinner-party salad

Keep the Bottarga portion visible and dress at the last moment.

Group cold and warm elements separately.

5. A pasta course

Fold Bottarga through at the end to avoid unnecessary extra cooking.
