Bottarga is nothing more than the dried and naturally processed eggs of tuna fish and mullet. It is an exceptionally delicious product, rich in proteins, typical of Sardinia, Sicily and of the southern area of Maremma, near Orbetello. As it often happens with Italian delicacies, its origins lie deep in ancienthistory. Even though the name itself, “bottarga,” comes from the Arabic “batarikh” (used to indicate saltedfish eggs), it was probably the Phoenicians who made it known in the Mediterranean.
Sicily produces red tuna bottarga and yellow fin tuna bottarga. Favignana red tuna is the most exquisite, flavorsome variety and can weight over 100 kg. Thanks to its deliciousness, it is included in the list of Sicily’s traditional food and agriculture products.
