Smeralda : Exclusive Fishproducts Since 1988

Our company was founded in 1988 and today is a leader in the production and sale of mullet bottarga and sea urchin pulp. We select the best fishing areas and personally choose the best possible quality. And in our factories in Cagliari, we always guarantee the full availability of the products. Mullet bottarga With a meticulous organization of the production, we work manually the mullet’s eggs, guaranteeing handicraft care of the product without equal. The experience and professionalism matured allow us to offer distinctive advantages:

  • The color is a classic golden yellow which recalls orange peel.
  • The maturation is homogeneous, the edges are perfectly rounded and the thickness is high.
  • When chewed, one appreciates the soft and silky texture with a strong and at the same time delicate taste and elegant iodine hints.
  • Our grated product is made from the individual eggs of mullet whose integrity is ensured by an exclusive grinding technique.

In the processing of mullet bottarga, we do not use preservatives. Sea urchin pulp Since 2015, in our new production site, we have been dealing with the processing of sea urchin eggs with the aim of producing a sterilized product with the same care and organizational approach dedicated to bottarga. The high-quality standard begins with the great care with which the raw material is chosen. The sterilized sea urchin pulp is the result of a research work that has taken more than a year, during which we have developed a processing technique that gives back some qualifying advantages:

  • Homogeneous and creamy aspect.
  • Yellow color with bright orange shades.
  • Pleasantly iodized and rich in aromas taste, free from bitter notes.

In the processing of sterilized sea urchin pulp, we do not use preservatives. Cuttlefish ink We have worked for a long time to obtain a product that is different in appearance and taste. Our Cuttlefish ink is the result of innovative rheological studies that have allowed us to obtain very gratifying results. This product has distinguishing features that we can summarize in the following features:

  • Glossy black color (there are no nuances that recall brown notes).
  • Perfectly homogeneous appearance.
  • Consistent creaminess with pleasant notes that recall the taste of the meat of the cuttlefish.
  • Very high coloring power.

In the processing of Cuttlefish ink, we do not use preservatives. The entire production process of mullet bottarga and sea urchin pulp is certified by the BRC Global Standard and the International Food Standard. Currently, our distribution sees us working in many diverse distribution channels in different geographical areas: in the HORECA channel, in wholesale distribution, and in particular in modern distribution. Internationally, where we operate with decades of experience, we regularly export to the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Israel, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain, and England. In recent years, the company’s sales volume has steadily increased thanks to the extension of the markets, especially in foreign countries.
