Cod roe, lemon, olive oil and white onion. No colouring, which is why it is grey-beige rather than pink.
On the colour
Taramosalata is not pink. Pink taramosalata has had something added to it that is not in this jar. Ours is the colour of wet sand and it is the correct colour.
How it is made
- Cod roe, soaked and pressed.
- Whisked slowly with olive oil, the way mayonnaise is made, which is the part that takes the time.
- Lemon, and grated white onion rather than garlic.
- Bread, on some days, in a quantity Despina will not disclose.
How to eat it
At room temperature, not cold from the fridge. Take it out twenty minutes before. Bread, a little raw onion, and a glass of retsina if you have one.
Shipping
It travels with a cold pack and should go straight into a fridge. Five days once opened. Within Greece it arrives in two to three days and is perfect. Beyond that we would rather you had it here.
Packed on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Two to three days within Greece. Write to us for the EU.
