PILU BOTTARGA DI MUGGINE

Pilu Bottarga di Muggine is sourced and produced in Australia by Giovanni Pilu. In 2018, it was awarded ‘Outstanding Artisan Produce’ in the DELICIOUS Produce Awards. Known as Sardinia’s favourite seasoning, bottarga is deliciously salty air dried fish roe made from mullet fished on the far north coast of NSW.

Bottarga can be eaten grated over pasta and fresh seafood or shaved over salads or crostini topped with ricotta. Bottarga butter is also fantastic on steak and fish.

A Sardinian Cookbook

Like so many of the great food cultures, Sardinian cuisine is born of necessity. As a poor people, Sardinians have always foraged for ingredients in the mountains and forests- fennel, asparagus, chicory and nettles; chestnuts, berries and honey. Rabbit, game birds and wild boar are still hunted in the traditional and time-honoured manner. And those living on the coast gather clams, mussels and tiny crabs from along the shoreline for soups and pasta sauces. The primary flavourings are the herbs that grow wild everywhere on the island- bay leaves, juniper berries, mint and sage, as well as the characteristic Sardinian myrtle, the leaves of which are used in stocks and marinades, and to scent roasted meat while it rests.
