Cabras Bottarga
This bottarga is slightly bitter, with the perfect amount of saltiness. It leaves a sweet aftertaste in your mouth—it's pleasant, not the harsh salt bomb you get from industrial ones. It's something that inebriates you.
Filetti di Muggine Affumicati
This is wild smoked mullet, nothing like the farmed orange salmon. You can taste the difference—it's incredibly flavorful and has a proper texture.
