Bottarga di Muggine in baffe di Cabras is salted and dried mullet roe from Gusti Pregiati. It is made from mullet caught in the brackish waters of the Cabras lagoon, while in baffe refers to bottarga presented whole, with the roe sacs intact.

It contains only mullet roe and salt. The roe sacs are carefully extracted from the fish, precisely salted, and pressed to achieve the right firmness. Artisanal processing includes slow, natural drying on wooden racks, allowing the product’s flavor and texture to develop gradually.

It has a delicate flavor with pronounced natural sweetness, characteristic of mullet roe from this lagoon. The texture is full and almost creamy in the mouth, while its marine character is rounded and subtle. It is particularly well suited to serving in thin slices with a little extra virgin olive oil and warm bread, allowing its flavor to take center stage.
