A taste of tradition ...

History tells us that the development of trade, carried out between Egypt, Mesopotamia and Phoenicia in the Mediterranean waters, was largely promoted by the salt-cured fish.

The Egyptians salted, pressed and dried the mullet roes, known as Mediterranean gold, and the Phoenicians, great sailors and navigators, on their voyages to the Greek islands, to Sicily and Sardinia and to the Iberian Peninsula unveiled this exquisite delicacy by the peoples of the Mediterranean sea.

Known as Battarekh in the Egypt of the pyramids and in Lebanon today, as Bottarga in Sicily and the Gulf of Oristano, as Boutargue in the port of Marseilles, and as Avgotaraho on the shores of Greece, the mullet roe is considered one of the most exquisite delicacies for the more discerning palates.
