Poseidon - Premium Whole Bottarga - Classic Italian Bottarga produced on the island of "Sardinia" - 2.46~3.5 oz

Have been getting bottarga from a local Italian store up until recently when they decided to discontinue it. For over 9 years I have been paying for the same quantity( about 3 oz) over $50. And never have I looked back even paying that much because this is a God sent food. I am not sicilian, I have learned about this unique bottarga many years in the past while watching a Anthony Bourdain show, where he was offered an amazing Italian feast over his wife's relatives in Sicily. I remember vividly how impressed he was by a very simple yet very flavorful dish made only with spaghetti, a few finely sliced garlic cloves, olive oil and bottarga. I love garlic, I love OO and this dish sounded appealing to me. I also remember he said you either love it or hate it, and that most of the time it is an acquired taste. Which he was not far from. I have first made it while pregnant with my first son and I remember I liked it but I was not that crazy about it as I was hoping for. Next day, all I wanted to eat was bottarga pasta. I have probably eaten this dish tens of times in that pregnancy and I have a genius child( hahah).Same effect on my husband. He loved it as well, not that he's become a genius:))Back to this product, same original taste, same high quality, the only difference is the low, very low and affordable price, By ordering a single item from this seller you will be able to make a pound of spaghetti, as long as you have a very good olive oil and a few cloves of garlic on hand. Very fast shipping as well. Order the product, meanwhile go get the rest of the items, watch Anthony Bourdain's show (just google it) and after you get the item get ready for a "gastronomical orgasm". if it's not love at first sight, give it a second chance. It might be the love of your life. Also, research the benefits! If I could give it a 10 stars, I would!!!

Upon having compared this to others in my quest for the best bottarga, this is probably my favorite. But I have to be careful cause it's so good I will just keep eating it!Slice for slice it's the softest melt in your mouth texture and and almost a sweetness that makes it easy to keep snacking on if you're not careful.Definitely a good begginer bottarga if you're not sure.The flavor is incredible, somewhere between fishy, smoky, and a little eggy(go figure). At first it almost tastes like sushi with the flavor ramped up to 80, but grabs some subtle nutty or almost musky aftertaste.I feel like it could go on almost anything but I've used in grated over seafood pasta and on its own with a cheese plate.I don't know if I'm preparing it right. But it's delicious so I don't care.

This does not have any taste. I had a piece from Italy and although this is the same color and shape this did not have any flavor. Very disappointing experience with my dinner guestsDon’t buy this

Great product, enjoyable.

The flavor is good, but I expected a bottarga orange/gold color as shown in the photo. the one I received is dark brown. Also the size in the photo lures to a much bigger size of bottarga. Next purchase I will be more careful on choosing the right product.

Yammy!

Really wanted to like this but was very disappointed. There is an inedible plastic-like membrane which is difficult to remove without breaking up the bottarga. This means it is very hard to grate. The flavor is just okay. Next time I’ll skip the bottarga and just use anchovies.

Very delicious! I would recommend.
