The Original
Known as "Mediterranean Caviar," Bottarga is an ancient delicacy dating back to Phoenician times. It consists of the roe pouch of the grey mullet, cured to create a solid, flavorful amber gold.
Simply Made
This product contains strictly two ingredients: Mullet roe and salt. The roe is carefully salted and dried by hand, then grated into a fine powder to offer an instant, pure seasoning without additives.
Rooter Location
While the method is historically celebrated in Sardinia, Mr. Moris applies the traditional Italian curing techniques in their workshop, respecting the slow drying process essential for the perfect texture.
Traditional
Handcrafted following an artisanal methodology. From salting to seasoning (stagionatura), the roe is tended to by experienced artisans to ensure the flavor is concentrated and preserved naturally.

Why We Selected It
We selected Mr. Moris’s Grated Mullet Bottarga as the "solid" counterpart to the Colatura in our Flavor Keepers collection. It is the ultimate "Sea Parmesan": a pantry staple that instantly elevates a dish. We specifically chose the Mullet variety (Muggine) for this jar because of its elegant, milder profile compared to Tuna, making it the perfect entry point for customers discovering cured roe for the first time. The glass jar format ensures the aroma remains sealed and fresh over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Premium Grated Mullet Bottarga
Mullet Bottarga has a sophisticated, savory, and slightly briny flavor often described as having hints of dried fruit or almonds. It is milder and more golden than Tuna Bottarga, which is stronger and iron-rich.
Think of it as a seasoning, not a main ingredient. Sprinkle it over warm dishes just before serving. It should never be cooked over high heat, as this destroys its delicate aroma.
Bottarga is a method of preserving the essence of the fish through salting and drying. In this grated jar format, it allows you to keep the intense flavor of the Mediterranean sea in your pantry for months, ready to be used by the pinch.
Absolutely. In Italy, it is strictly forbidden to put cheese on seafood pasta. Bottarga is the traditional substitute, providing that salty, umami kick without clashing with the fish flavors.
Serving Instructions
Preparation Steps
Ready to use. Sprinkle directly from the jar.
- Spaghetti alla Bottarga: The simplest luxury. Sauté garlic and chili in olive oil, toss with spaghetti, remove from heat, and sprinkle generously with Bottarga and fresh parsley.
- Gourmet Scrambled Eggs: Add a teaspoon of Bottarga to soft scrambled eggs or on top of a poached egg for a salty, oceanic twist.
- Avocado Toast: Sprinkle over avocado toast or grilled vegetables to add complexity and saltiness without using table salt.
For a true gourmet experience, grate a little lemon zest along with the Bottarga on your pasta. The citrus acidity perfectly cuts through the richness of the cured roe.
