Bottarga is a delicacy made from cured fish roe, typically from gray mullet or tuna. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Italy, it embodies a rich tradition of flavor. The roe is salted and pressed, then dried into a firm, aromatic block that can be grated or sliced. Packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids, Bottarga offers heart-healthy benefits, but it can be high in sodium, so moderation is key. This exquisite ingredient adds an umami depth to pasta dishes, salads, and more, making it a gourmet treasure worth savoring.
