Mr Moris Bottarga Premium Quality Kosher Made in Italy (Grey Mullet Roe) (Large - 160Gr / 5.6Oz ca)

Some of the mildest I have had. Very yummy, wish I could keep it stocked

I have been ordering Mr. Moris Bottarga for years and have always been happy with the quality. However my recent order came moldy, spoiled, and inedible. This lot probably should be recalled.

Amazing quality , and the price at least 30% less than other brands. Been buying for the past year constantly, quality didn’t disappoint!

I love spaghetti alla bottarga since discovering it in Sardinia. Since then, I’ve learned how to make it and always have bottarga on hand for when the urge hits. I’ve ordered numerous brands of bottarga through Amazon and have liked them all but this one is slightly different.When I received it (quickly and beautifully packaged), I noticed it was darker than what I’ve seen. I wrote to the company and was assured it was fine to eat. Tonight, I tested it out, making my usual spaghetti bottarga. It was delicious. The Mr. Moris Bottarga has a subtler, smoother taste than many I’ve tasted. One of the ways to eat bottarga is thinly sliced (with a glass of champagne if the gods are with you) but that idea never appealed to me until I tasted this one. A briny, clean taste which, I think, can stand on its own. And the price...bottarga is not inexpensive but this brand is a great deal. I plan to order another piece within the next few days. Also, their customer service is amazing. They answered my concerns about the color of it promptly and, as a ‘sorry’ , sent a few items to try. So, great bottarga, great price, great customer service.

Was looking forward to try it out. Love it. The item itself was vacuum sealed and not affected, but the nicely made boxes were dirty (like were kicked by the feet on the dusty floor) and ripped.

I love this stuff. It's basically caviar jerky - very delicious and beautifully packaged. I slice it finely and eat it plain with wine, but I can imagine it'd be an excellent seasoning as well. I will say it does NOT pair well with all drinks, but that's not the bottarga's fault.This brand is an excellent value for the money, but I agree the color leaves a little to be desired. For the price it's totally fine (after all, I want to eat it, not look at it, and as seasoning you wouldn't notice) but if I were having company and wanted to serve bottarga straight I might get a more pink brand. Still, this stuff is excellent and a delicious way to get Omega 3s while feeling like a fancy pants aristocrat.

The mullet roe I received is so dark brown it's close to black. The color is definitely different than the amber color shown on the Amazon page. After doing some online research, I learned that the black color comes from one of the following: 1) too much blood of the mullet fish went in the roe due to shock when the fish was caught, 2) Bruises to the roe, possibly during transporting and before the salting and drying process, 3) The roe has been stored too long and it has lost certain level of freshness. You can test this by putting the roe up to bright light. If the row is not somewhat opaque, it is not fresh enough.I did taste Mr. Moris's Bottarga. It is not foul-tasting. But it's flat-tasting. It is salty as expected. There's no "smell of a good fish" or "taste of the sea" kind of dimensions to the roe. It is bitter even if you eat a very thin slice of it. That bitter taste stays in your mouth for the next couple of hours. I see why the enclosed recipe suggests breaking the roe to sprinkles and crumbs for a pasta dish.I agree with another reviewer, that mullet roes from Taiwan get way more gourmet points than Mr. Moris's product. Although I did pay twice the amount for those.

The product was not airtight sealed. And it looked and smelled rotten! I have previously ordered it and this is now how it is supposed to be packaged not smell! This is serious, anyone who isn’t knowledgeable of how the bottarga should be could be severely poisoned
