Bottarga di Muggine, aka Bottarga, it is basically salted and dried mullet roe eggs and is often referred to as the “poor man’s caviar or as the gold of the sea“.
Bottarga is mainly produced in the Island of Sardinia, specifically in the municipality of Cabras, Western Sardinia.
How is Bottarga used?
You can use it grated over pasta dishes just like this spaghetti-with-sardinian-bottarga or even served on slices of warm Carasau bread freshly dressed with some olive oil.

We love bottarga and have several kinds in our fridge. It’s such a great addition to pastas and seafood dishes! We will need to try your spaghetti recipe!
Sardinian Bottarga is special indeed, so glad you like it.
Can you find the vacuum one over there, David?
