I have to admit, that neither did I before starting working in the food business online through the help of &lt;a href=&#8221;https:\/\/www.webdesign499.com\/5-reasons-why-an-seo-strategy-is-crucial-to-your-websites-success\/&#8221;&gt;WebDesign499&lt;\/a&gt;. The Phoenicians were the first to produce&nbsp;<strong>bottarga<\/strong>&nbsp;and it was the Carthaginians who helped this product to be known through out the Mediterranean. It was first documented by Bartolomeo Platina in 1386. In his words: \u201c I do not remember eating anything more exquisite\u201d , \u201can honest enjoyment that is healthy for you\u201d. Until the 1970\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>bottarga<\/strong>&nbsp;was considered \u201cThe poor man&#8217;s food\u201d but today it\u2019s considered as the \u201cGold of Sardinia\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market for\u00a0<strong>bottarga<\/strong>\u00a0has been in constant growth, with its main marketing being in Italy, France, Germany, Japan and Spain. It\u2019s also showing a lot of growth in North America but the product is still by far an unknown delight. The main cities of\u00a0<strong>bottarga<\/strong>\u00a0production in Sardidnia are Alghero, Carloforte, Sant\u2019Antioco, San Teodoro, Cabras, Portofino, Cagliari and Tortoli. You can also find\u00a0<strong>bottarga<\/strong>\u00a0manufacturers in Sicily, Calabria, Provenza, Turkey and Tunisia. With this being said, Sardinia is the historical area of production of\u00a0<strong>bottarga<\/strong>\u00a0and to guarantee authentic crafted\u00a0<strong>bottarga<\/strong>, your best bet is to buy from a producer based in Sardinia. The\u00a0<strong>bottarga<\/strong>\u00a0is made from grey or red Mullet roe (\u00a0<strong>Bottarga di Muggine<\/strong>), Tuna (<strong>Bottarga di Tonno<\/strong>) and sometimes even from swordfish. At Macchi Inc. we offer the one made from red mullet and tuna. The red mullet is an abundant fish in the mediterranean and is found as far as the waters in Japan and Australia, but the best quality mullets and the most skilled craftsmanship is found in Sardinia.\u00a0<strong>Bottarga<\/strong>\u00a0is made from the \u201croe pouch\u201d of the tuna or the red mullet, the eggs are carefully removed, washed, purified and salted. It is massaged by hand to eliminate air pockets and then cured in seasalt for a few weeks. It is then coated in beeswax ready for preservation. The\u00a0<strong>bottarga di muggine<\/strong>\u00a0( mullet ) has an excuisite flavour that is a cross between salted fish roe and an after taste of bitter almonds. The\u00a0<strong>bottarga di tonno<\/strong>\u00a0(tuna) has a slightly more intense flavor but they are both an extraordinary and unique experience in taste and can not be compared to anything you\u2019ve ever tasted before. At Macchi Inc. we import our bottarga from a sardinian based company called Sarda Affumicati. I personnally\u00a0tend to prefer the\u00a0<strong>bottarga\u00a0di\u00a0muggine<\/strong>, while Paolo loves the\u00a0<strong>bottarga di tonno<\/strong>. If you&#8217;ve tried\u00a0<strong>bottarga<\/strong>, let me know which is your favorite. I am curious to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not many people in North America know about this product.
