Description
If you are a connoisseur of Mediterranean cuisine, you are probably already well acquainted with Bottarga caviar (also written botargo or botarga). For the uninitiated, it will be a revelation to discover in terms of rich and intense flavor. Strictly speaking, Bottarga is not caviar at all – it is, rather, mullet roe salted in brine still in its natural envelope, then pressed and sun-dried. It is an incredible product indeed that gives you an unforgettable culinary impression — at the intense salty flavor you will imagine you can hear the gulls crying and feel the faint sting of sea spray on your cheeks.
Bottarga is usually served as an appetizer with some drops of fine olive oil. Alternatively, it can be grated over pasta, risotto or salads to give the dish a distinct seafood flavor. This is a kosher caviar.
