Bottarga<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like caviar, bottarga is a sought-after delicacy. It is the salted, pressed egg sacs of the grey mullet. They go by the name of “bottarga” in Italy, “poutargue” in France, and “botargo” in Greece. These dried roes are an old and unctuous gastronomic treat with a deep flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n

Due to overfishing, bottarga has become an expensive gourmet product. In France, this luxury dish is a specialty of Martigues’ town. In Italy, travel to Sardinia, to taste the famous roe produced in Alghero, Stintino, and Cabras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some bee wax coats the dried pouch of salted eggs to stop its maturation at the right time and to protect them from external contact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enjoy Bottarga, slice it thin and remove the bee wax. You can also moisten it with virgin olive oil or add lemon.

Alternatively, thinly sliced bottarga can also be a tasty addition to rucola (rocket) salads. Some like it grated in a pasta dish or even on buttered toasts as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of how you plan to enjoy it, Bottarga is one of the best unique foods from around the world to try on your Mediterranean yacht charter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
