Trikalinos bottarga is a traditional Greek delicacy made from cured grey mullet roe, carefully prepared to preserve its pure, complex flavor. This 7.5-ounce piece of avgotaraho is produced using time-honored techniques that balance salting and drying to achieve a supple texture, nuanced salinity, and a long, refined finish. Coated in natural beeswax to protect its integrity, the roe develops a distinctive taste that is both briny and subtly sweet, with a depth that reflects its Mediterranean origin. Naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, it is as valued for its nutritional profile as it is for its culinary appeal.
Enjoy bottarga thinly sliced on its own to fully appreciate its texture and flavor, or serve with warm bread or blinis for a simple, elegant presentation. It can also be grated or shaved over pasta, adding a savory, umami-rich layer, or incorporated into salads for contrast and depth. Pair with fresh herbs like parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, or even richer elements such as butter or foie gras for a more indulgent preparation. However it’s served, a small amount goes a long way in transforming a dish.
Founded in 1856 in Etoliko, Greece, Trikalinos has built its reputation on producing exceptional bottarga using grey mullet roe, considered the finest for this specialty. Drawing on centuries of tradition, the company continues to refine its process while maintaining a commitment to quality and authenticity.
