Spaghetti with Chilly Peppers, Lime and Trikalinos Bottarga

The Grey Mullet Bottarga is one of the oldest foods in the world. Becomes from the processed eggs of the female fish Cephalus.

Possessing a prominent place in the diet of ancient Greeks and Byzantine, it is part of the Greek Culinary heritage.

It is a product of high nutritional value with a mighty flavor and very long aftertaste. The more velvety texture it has, the more rich in nutrients it is.

It is a 100% natural product, without preservatives or additives that must be stored in the refrigerator throughout its shelf life, in order to remain juicy.

The Trikalinos Avgotaraho is undoubtedly one of the most traditional products of our country, whose development gives us more creative, imaginative and delicious serving suggestions, than serving the bottarga plain or on top of sliced bread.

You may pair it with legumes, vegetables, fish and seafood, to enhance the sea flavor into your meals.

The Trikalinos Avgotaraho has high nutritional value as a result of its lower salinity and its significant high moisture levels. It is a 100% natural product without preservatives or additives, which must be stored in the refrigerator throughout its shelf life, so that it will always be juicy.

Keep it for a few minutes in room temperature, in order to give to the wax cover of the bottarga the time to soften and be easily cut. Cut the whole piece you desire to consume with a knife, peel off the wax cover and slice thinly. Wrap the remaining bottarga with cling film and place it back in the refrigerator.
