WHAT IS BOTARGO?
Botargo is a famous Messolonghi product and the most exquisite. It derives from finely stuffed fish eggs dipped in natural beeswax in order to be preserved.
ORIGIN
Botargo originates from the ovaries of the female grey mullet (kephalos) – known to locals as “mpafa” – which, after being thoroughly cleaned, treated with salt, then subjected to a controlled drying process and finally immersed in wax for longer storage.
Its exceptional quality and unique taste make it the most exquisite gourmet fish product. It has a rich source of energy and high nutritional value, as it contains a significant amount of vitamins and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats.
