Smeralda Whole Bottarga – Grey Mullet Roe (150g Each, 2 Units Total)

Smeralda Bottarga di Muggine is one of Sardinia’s finest culinary specialties. Made from premium grey mullet roe, each piece is salted, pressed, and slowly cured for 3–4 months in a dark, ventilated environment. The result is a firm, amber-colored bottarga with an intense yet refined flavor, rich in natural proteins and Omega-3 fatty acids.

This traditional Italian delicacy is highly prized for its versatility: shave it, grate it, or slice it thinly to elevate pasta, seafood, salads, and antipasti with a deep, savory Mediterranean taste.
