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!!!

Fast shipping. Delicious ingredient if you know how to work with it. Great price.

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.

It was dried way too much. It wasnt at all like the image. And it didn't taste like a batanga I like. I wish I could have returned it but food safety apparently prevents me.

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 guests Don’t buy this

I know it has a strong flavor. A little bitter too. And, although it lasted a long time in the refrigerator, it kept its flavor and I didn't notice it spoiling. I don't know anything about "bottarga." I bought it out of pure curiosity. And I liked it a little. Sprinkled on pasta... I didn't buy it again because it's very expensive for the small size. Maybe that's its normal price... But at that price, this product isn't for me.

Excellent quality bottarga. I am also impressed that my medium (2.46-3.5 oz.) size weighed 3.8 oz.!! I ordered the medium because the large was not available. I understand that future orders may be smaller and thereby compensate, but WOW!, what a great surprise on my first order. Given the great quality and the little extra quantity, I will definitely order Poseiden bottarga again and again. For my first dish, I used about a third of the bottarga (1.25 oz.). I lightly fried a couple of cloves of sliced garlic and some red pepper flakes in 1 Tbs olive oil and 1 Tbs sweet butter and stirred in about 1/4 lb. al dente linguini with about 2 Tbs pasta water. Then, I dumped this pasta into a preheated bowl and mixed in 3/4 of the 1.25 oz. bottarga chunk grated and topped it off with the rest sliced and freshly ground black pepper. I reckon that they serve this at least once a week in heaven. Try it. It will tang your buds real good!

Rien avoir avec la photo Très cher pour le petit filet sec reçu, bref décevant et qualité médiocre

je suis marseillaise et amatrice de poutargue; c'est assez cher, mais très gouteux et se consomme en petite quantité avec du pain, du beurre et du citron. Celle-ci est parfaite.

Delicious!

Un excellent produit ! Une poutargue tendre et savoureuse, bien équilibrée en bouche ! Je recommande vivement pour faire des pâtes à la poutargue !

Producto de muy buena calidad. Combinado con almendras es exquisito al paladar. Entrega rápida y trato muy profesional
