Bottarga Mauritania isn’t just a product. It’s a heritage. A craft. A commitment to purity and flavor born from the Atlantic coast and perfected over time.
From the Atlantic Coast to Your Plate
Our grey mullet bottarga begins in the wild waters of Mauritania. We work exclusively with local fishermen who understand the sea as deeply as they understand tradition. No industrial fishing. No shortcuts. Just clean roe harvested with respect.
This product is a tribute to the ocean and to generations of coastal expertise. Mauritania’s coastline offers ideal conditions for a bottarga that is bold in character and rich in marine depth.


The Traditional Curing Process
We follow a curing method rooted in simplicity and precision.
- Roe is gently cleaned and salted with natural sea salt
- It is then slowly dried under the Mauritanian sun, with the breeze of the Atlantic aiding the process
- No machines. No preservatives. No compromise
This traditional approach concentrates the flavor while preserving the delicate texture. The result is a bottarga that’s as refined as it is authentic.
Wax-Sealed Bottarga: Our Signature Finish

Some of our finest bottarga is finished with a traditional wax seal.
After the curing process, each roe is delicately coated with a layer of extra virgin olive oil and beeswax. This ancient method offers both elegance and protection, preserving the flavor, aroma, and texture naturally.
The wax seal is more than a preservation technique. It is our signature, a mark of care, craftsmanship, and respect for the product.

The Flavor Profile
What defines our bottarga is not only how it’s made, but how it tastes.
Expect an amber-gold hue and a texture that is firm yet silky. The flavor is clean, marine, slightly briny, with a long, savory finish that recalls the best of the Mediterranean.
Use it shaved over pasta, grated onto risotto, or sliced thin on a toasted baguette. Pair it with olive oil, lemon, or nothing at all. The product speaks for itself.
