Bottarga di muggine (or cured grey mullet roe) is sourced from the Mediterranean waters off the coast of Sardinia. Grated bottarga from Citarella gourmet market is salted, pressed, and aged for three-to-four months to bring out the most flavor from this “Mediterranean caviar.” While bottarga’s rich and briny flavor is long on Southern Italian culinary tradition, grated as a seasoning it provides instant depth to simple pastas, roasted vegetables, even popcorn.
