7 sold in last 24 hours
Often called the "Red Gold" of Sicily, the Gambero Rosso di Mazara del Vallo is widely considered one of the most prestigious crustaceans in the world.
These aren't your typical grocery store shrimp. They are deep-water prawns (Aristaeomorpha foliacea) found in the Mediterranean at depths of up to 700 meters. The high salinity and pressure of their habitat give them a flavor profile that is both intensely sweet and distinctively salty.
