From Italy

Bottarga Mullet Roe delivers a velvety burst of fruity sea flavor with a minor piquancy and a pleasant, long-lasting aftertaste. Also written as botargo or botarga, and alternatively known as Avgotaraho, Bottarga Mullet Roe is a delicacy that has been made with Grey Mullet Roa and coated with beeswax to preserve it without using salt, minimizing the sodium content. Bottarga Mullet Roe is most frequently used as an appetizer with a few drops of olive oil, but it can also be grated over pasta, salads, and risotto to give a seafood flavor to the dish. Bottarga Mullet Roe is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and squalene.
