Bottarga di Tonno

Bottarga di tonno, or tuna fish roe, is a cured delicacy from the Italian region of Sardinia. Made with salted, pressed, and dried tuna fish roe, bottarga di tonno used to be considered a poor man’s food, but nowadays it is a luxurious treat, often referred to as the gold of Sardinia.

With its extraordinary, rich, salty flavor and beautiful colors ranging from deep red-amber to brilliant orange-yellow, bottarga di tonno is a great addition to a wide range of dishes, but it is also delicious enough to be enjoyed on its own, flavored with a touch of lemon juice and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
