The history and the technique:

The mullet roe comes from a hand-crafted tradition: every fisherman keeps his recipe, but all include the following stages: freshly caught fish is in fact deprived of the bag containing the eggs, which is salted, stirred, pressed and then cured.

A similar processing requires a casing, strong enough to resist the rubbing of the salt and the operation of pressing; for this reason, even if it would be possible to use egg sacs of other fish as well, the mullet is chosen.

The amber color of mullet roe, more or less dark, and the flavor of the hams, with millions of salted eggs, pressed and dried, blend perfectly with a glass of Vernaccia wine whose fragrances enhance the old flavor of a product of the wetlands of Sinis.
