About Bottarga

Bottarga is a traditional delicacy made by curing and drying the salted roe of fish, commonly mullet or tuna. Originating from Mediterranean cuisines, especially Italian and North African, bottarga has a rich, briny flavor and is typically grated over pasta, salads, or toasted bread for a savory burst of umami. Nutritionally, bottarga is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation. It also provides essential vitamins like B12 and minerals such as iodine and zinc. However, due to its curing process, bottarga is high in sodium, which may be a concern for those managing blood pressure or salt intake. Its concentrated nature makes it best enjoyed as a flavorful garnish rather than a central ingredient in meals, ensuring a balanced approach to its nutritional profile.
