Bottarga from Italy

This was a new product for us. I saw a recipe in NYT Cooking that called for bottarga and had never heard of it, despite having eaten my way around Sicily. I ordered it from my phone immediately with the Amazon app. The package showed up very quickly. The product is packaged perfectly, and in a way that allows you to grate the bottarga without putting your fingers on it. Most importantly, we loved how it tastes and what it added to the dish. My husband and sons loved it. It is so tasty, but not overwhelmingly fishy. It added a lot of flavor and, I think, reduced the need for salt because it is so flavorful. Normally I would have added shaved Parmesan or Asiago to the dish, but it didn't need the extra flavor. So maybe it is also good if you are trying to cut out cheese/dairy. I would also say that the weight of my sample was toward the high side of the company's estimated weight range. Totally happy. Will order again.

Great rich flavor; I'd call it worth the money. It's darker than depicted, but without doubt it is true in all ways this product should be.

Excellent taste, but a bit pricey.

This was a very disappointing experience ! The product is almost tasteless , except for a barely perceptible fishy taste, it did not add anything to the seafood pasta I tried it on. I love fish in any shape and form and was prepared to have a special culinary experience but this was not it . I feel bad to have spent so much money on it , I could have had several tins of cod liver for that amount . I keep wondering what I missed, since Bottarga was enthusiastically mentioned in a new York Times Food article as an tasty addition to certain food to make it special.

If I ate a whole Pizza or a bowl or rice or meat then I'm fine. If I eat 3.5 oz of this booger textured fish gum, then it gave me huge Diarrhea. It tastes gummy and fishy. It tells me its rotten food with bacteria called delicacy I guess? after you take a bite your throat hurts a little bit from the ammonia bitter after taste and after an hour the other end hurts with a huge blast. This nasty taste can become very addictive too. good tasting stuff never becomes addictive like this. So watch out.

The flavor was bottarga, but lacked depth. Shaved thin to top an appetizer would probably the best use for this product. Tried using a whole package to make a pound of fettucine and while not bad the flavor was underwhelming. My (adult) kids likened the dish to eating pasta seated next to the open door of a quality seafood shop. However, for those not wanting a more subtle dish this could be the perfect choice.

Delish! Best quality ever! So glad I found this one on amazon

Years ago I ordered Pasta con Vongole at a beautiful restaurant in Santa Monica called Portofino. I had been eating pasta with clams sauce for many years, both red and white. All delicious. But there was something about this particular sauce that was not only fascinating but absolutely delicious. I asked the server for the recipe. It wasn't particularly exotic in relation to other recipes that I had tried. But then he revealed that they shave bottarga on top just before the serve it. What a revelation. But I had no idea where to buy it. And when I saw that Poseidon Bottarga was easily ordered on-line I could not resist. Believe me, it is a garnish that you cannot live without once you have tried it!!!! By the way, it may seem a bit pricey, but if you compare it to the price you would pay in a restaurant to have it specially added to your pasta dish, it is an excellent deal. I always have it on hand now.

Ottimo, buona qualità .

This was quite disappointing. The roe was dry and difficult to spread. The taste was quite bland.

Muy bueno 👌

Perfect, heerlijk!!! Zelfde smaak als de bottarga in Sardinië gekocht.
