Bottarga is the salted, pressed, and dried roe of tuna or sea mullet. A traditional delicacy in Sicily and Sardinia, bottarga’s full flavor and variety of uses are gaining appreciation in the U.S. The roe is harvested intact, like a long fat cake, then packed in sea salt to draw out the moisture, pressed gently under boards, and sun-dried for several days. This ancient curing process preserves the roe. It is then used as needed, sliced, shaved, or grated.

Tuna bottarga has a lively, salty, slightly sharp flavor, grated directly over hot pasta, it blends well with olive oil or butter.
