Smeralda was born in the early 90s in Cagliari, in the south of wonderful Sardinia. It specializes in the production of mullet bottarga, one of the most famous and representative typical products of the island. In the ancient production process, manual art and technology live in perfect harmony to guarantee consumers a safe, carefully selected product, appreciated all over the world.
The Bottarga di Muggine is the pride of Sardinia's gastronomic heritage. Its history goes back to the Phoenicians, who salted and dried the mullet eggs 3,000 years ago; it seems that traces have been found even in the pyramids.
The preparation has remained the old one: cleaning, salting, pressing and drying.
With high protein value and very rich in Omega3, the bottarga,
refined and tasty, cut into thin slices, it goes well with fresh vegetables and butter croutons. Grated on fish and vegetable first courses, it is indescribably delicious.
