The Bottarga, an excellence in the production of Tonnare Fao37, comes from the female gonads of the red tuna.
The product is exclusively processed from fresh catch, not from frozen eggs that the industry often uses to reduce costs and make the product more competitive.
This means that the raw material of Tunnu is always of high quality and comes only from freshly caught products.
Botarga is handcrafted by generations of old tuna fishermen who pass on their skills to the new generations.
The product undergoes long aging processes, at least 12 months, in environments with natural ventilation, not artificially forced by ovens to speed up the curing.

The Bottarga has a granular texture and an intense aroma, so much so that it is used in the kitchen to season from classic bruschetta on bread to more elaborate dishes.
A good pairing, in fact, to best enhance its flavor, can be to lightly toast a slice of bread, cover it with slices of tomato, a drizzle of oil, and lay slices of bottarga on top.
It is also used to prepare the classic pasta with Bottarga: in this case, you need to heat some EVO oil in a pan and add the pasta, particularly al dente, so that it is risottato with the cooking water. Then, add the thinly sliced bottarga prepared beforehand, dispelling the false myth of grated bottarga on top of the pasta.
For better use, it is recommended to remove the outer natural casing containing the egg before slicing the Bottarga. In the preparation of this first course, if desired, a pinch of lemon zest can be grated at the end of cooking.
Bottarga can also be paired with boiled vegetables, such as sautéed chicory with butter, and then accompanied by curls of bottarga.
Another curious pairing could be to use bottarga still in flakes, on top of risotto.
It is recommended upon arrival of the order to remove the vacuum seal, used solely for hygiene reasons and transport regulations.
Subsequently, the bottarga must be covered with a cloth or absorbent paper.
If it is stored for long periods, it is essential to check the absorbent paper and change it if necessary.
We have selected the Bottarga di Tonnare Fao37 for its superior quality and authentic flavor.
Crafted with artisanal care from fresh fish, it offers a unique texture and an intense taste that enhances every dish: perfect for those who want to add a touch of refinement and Mediterranean tradition to their recipes.
