Our grand father, Christos Theodoro Katopodis, was an owner of a Hotel in the Island of Lefkas. He was also owner of a fish farm at the Island. It was at that place that our father, Constantin Christos Katopodis, very early learned to take care of the process and elaboration of the fish roe sac in the fish farm of the family. A tradition passed from father to son, from generation to generation. When our father immigrated to Brazil, he brought in his soul the recipe of the process of spawn of Lefkas. Since 1955 the fish roe sac of mullet (Tainha in Portuguese) are elaborated with the same dedication, love and pleasure that animated the Greek ancestors, by the hands of our father.

From the initial stage, selection and washout, passing to the salting and drying in special stoves (incubators) designed so as to pass up the solar rays that eliminate bacteria and fungus, until they reach the final stage when the fish roe sac are dipped in a pure semi solid wax of bee, the fish roe sacs of the Lefkas Mullet Bottarga are only touched by the dedicated hands of our father in a real crafty process of the family tradition.
