Smeralda Bottarga di Muggine – Whole Bottarga from Sardinia, Italian Grey Mullet Roe, Traditional Dried Fish Roe, Sardinian Bottarga, 5 oz, Product of Italy

Excellent quality, very tasty. Worth any penny. I only wish, it was not packed in plastic or at least it had some extra natural layer between bottarga and packaging

Very good product! Italian product are the best!

It’s a great product. I’ve bought it several times. It lasts forever, it tastes great, and it arrives promptly. I love the taste, but I discovered it when I was searching for a reliable, cheap source of omega-3s, which are hard to come by. This turned out to be cheaper than buying bpa-free canned sardines, and it’s a lot more versatile. Also, it’s even lower on the food-chain than sardines, so even less chance of mercury! It’s also high in selenium and vitamin D. This is tasty, healthy, and a good quality. I highly recommend it. I just eat a little plain, It’s like a sea-flavored cheese- but if you grate it into other food, it’s a very subtle flavor and just enhances whatever you add it to. Mmmm!

I've purchased numerous varieties of bottarga from Supreme Bottarga (formerly Bottarga Bros) both direct and via Amazon. Flavors have varied but it's never been "bad", i.e., spoiled product. I went out on a limb and purchased from two other sellers recently. One was ok, but this one -- from Alma Gourmet -- was sickening. I tasted one bite and threw the rest out. It probably would've made me sick had I continued. Even before opening I knew something was off. I've never seen a piece of what sems to be skin (?) attached to the egg sack (see pictures). Also, the vacuum seal looked less-than perfect (also see pictures). The smell was off but the taste - oh, the taste - it was like the fish eggs you buy from bait shops to put on hooks for fishing. Atrocious. Like I said, I've had good bottarga, and it is fishy but not "off". This was "off". Avoid this seller and this product AT ALL COSTS! It is inedible at best, sickening at worst.

I purchased Bottarga several times before. This one is probably the best I had. As a not expert enjoyed Fresh taste and smell with no signs of aging Perfect salt balance Comfortable dryness Going to order it again for sure

Package of 3 - each one was marked as 5.30 oz - but the posting said 6.0 oz each. Still a good buy but buyers want clarity in descriptions.

My husband is from Sardinia and, living in the States, we had been missing botarga until I got the idea to look for it on Amazon where I found plenty to choose from. It was quite expensive, but we ordered it anyway. It arrived a day earlier than promised and was very well insulated, which was a good thing, since the ice pack had warmed and the botarga was barely cool. Next time, I will pay for two-day shipping if Prime isn't available. In any case, the botarga was excellent and were very happy with it.

I love bottarga and I’ve tried many brands but this is my favorite. The bottarga is always moist and flavorful. It has the clean taste of the sea and is wonderful to use for spaghetti bottarga. It’s not cheap but, served this way, it’s an affordable luxury that I keep coming back to.
