Mediterranean Context
Tarama is a dish of control.
Fish roe carries strong character and salinity, which requires careful handling. In Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean traditions, tarama is prepared to soften intensity while preserving depth, resulting in a spread that is rich yet measured.
It is never consumed in excess. It is shared, spread thinly, and paired with bread or vegetables.
The Character of Pasteurized Tarama
Smooth and Creamy Texture
Careful emulsification produces a consistent, spreadable structure.
Balanced Salinity
Saltiness is controlled to highlight umami without sharpness.
Traditional Preparation Approach
Careful Roe Selection
Only suitable fish roe is selected for texture and flavor balance.
Controlled Emulsification
Ingredients are blended to achieve smoothness without heaviness.
