Tuna eggs, salt Sicilian tuna bottarga is bold! It is a rare delicacy with a powerful umami flavor, and pairs well with robust, spicy southern Italian olive oils. Tuna bottarga has a stronger taste of fish than mullet bottarga. To use this tuna bottarga, all you have to do is peel away the outer layer and slice or grate it. One bottarga can flavor dozens of meals! Slice this Bottarga di Tonno thin for a classic spaghetti con bottarga with olive oil and lemon zest. Or to add not only savory umami but also a delightfully feathery texture to your dishes, shave it directly onto, bitter greens, mashed potatoes, risotto, scrambled eggs, pizza, or fresh fennel salad. We love this tuna bottarga sprinkled on a simple bruschetta with capers and extra virgin olive oil. Our tuna bottarga from producer Testa Conserve in Sicilia is made from the roe (egg) pouch of the Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna, Tonno Rosso. Before anything else, the Testas are fishmongers. From October to March, Futura Prima and Atlante sail the Sicilian seas searching for schools of sgombri, anchovies, sugarelli, and bluefin tuna. The Testa family has been steering its boats through the Mediterranean Sea since the 17th Century. It's a storied tradition built upon centuries of hard work and resilience, with each new generation refining the already extensive expertise of the previous one. Over this time, their fishing activity has evolved from sailing old-style wooden ships to the most efficient modern vessels. Bottarga was once known as the poor mans caviar, but that hardly does justice to this Mediterranean delicacy, prized by food lovers from the ancient Egyptian, Phoenician, and Roman empires, up to the present. Based in Catania, fishmongers and bluefin tuna connoisseur Testa family continue to prepare tuna bottarga with artisanal methods generations old. The tuna eggs are skillfully extracted, washed, purified, salted, and cured into a dry hard slab. They are then sliced into pieces and packaged by hand, allowing you to enjoy the rich flavor of the Mediterranean all year long. These Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna are fished by Testa Conserve with their fishing boat Atlante, exclusively in the waters around Sicily. For the Testas, having a small-scale, mindful, and artisanal fishing operation means carefully following the marine life cycle, constantly looking after the size class of their catch, and working with scientists to minimize their environmental impact. Their relationship with the sea is founded upon respect and knowledge rather than exploitation. By adopting virtuous practices both onboard and ashore, their first goal is to protect and preserve the sea.
