Review: High quality - I purchased mine in March 2020, and by mid-April it was used up. Some reviews here cited mold and other issues. I experienced none of those, but the product may be sourced by different vendors, which would account for the inconsistency. I count myself as lucky. For me this is absolutely perfect as a substitute for parmigiano reggiano grated over spaghetti. A little olive oil, perhaps some papers and this grated over a pasta it to me pure heaven. Note the time frame that I mentioned: I know for a fact that this will keep at least a month if stored in a refrigerator in a sealed plastic container. Possibly longer. At any rate, do heed the negative reviews because there were enough of them to indicate there are quality issues with some shipments. I reduced my risk by ordering mine to be delivered by Prime, which meant that I could easily return it for a refund. I was more than pleased with the package I received and it's about time to order another!
Review: Not good - So nasty! I love roe but this was not it! It smelled terrible. The taste was just awful. I don’t think it was good. So I wound up throwing it away. Honestly not worth the money. No disrespect but I feel like a refund should be an option due to the poor quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the country of origin?**
A: Esmeralda Bottarga was founded in Egypt since 1965, then they took the experience to the united states of America producing premium foods from the east.

**Q: How do you store bottarga once opened? I wrapped last piece in plastic wrap, it molded, I was thinking submerge in olive oil or salt like anchovies.**
A: Hi, 
once you cut it you have to keep it in the fridge and consume within 3~4 days and best wrap is wax papers, if you want to store it for longer you can freeze it.
If you have any other questions please don't hesitate.

**Q: Can I eat it fried? Thank you.**
A: Hello,

I don't suggest eating it fried.  It is used more as a condiment or just plain sliced with lemon and/or a good olive oil.

**Q: The one I received is dark brown not orange like the picture. Is that normal?**
A: Mullet Botarga is usually deep orange in color. Other fish Botarga can be brownish, some deep brown. I would get in touch with the shipper to verify what they shipped.
