Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Once referred to as "poor man's caviar", bottarga is the salted, pressed and dried roe of tuna. This specialty of southern Italy is harvested from the tuna, then salted and massaged by hand for several weeks. It is then pressed and sun- dried for up to two months. Bottarga has a salty flavor that reminds one instantly of the sea. This bottarga is pre-grated and sold in a 50g jar. While 50g may sound small, a little bottarga can go a long way. Sprinkle some over spaghetti and toss with olive oil and red pepper flakes for a delicious entree. Use your imagination - serve it as a bread topping, salad ingredient, or in rice dishes.
