Full product description

Harvested from the cold, nutrient-rich waters off southern Chile, our Sea Urchin Roe delivers a fresh, flavorful uni experience that’s earned respect in professional kitchens worldwide. With its clean brine, natural sweetness, and smooth, creamy texture, Chilean uni stands out as a reliable and high-quality alternative for chefs and home gourmets alike.

While Santa Barbara uni remains the benchmark for premium-grade roe, Chilean uni offers excellent versatility and approachability, making it an ideal option for those seeking a refined taste without the top-tier price point. Its vibrant color, consistent texture, and balanced flavor profile make it well-suited for both traditional and modern culinary applications.

Key Features:

Origin: Sustainably wild-harvested from Chile’s southern Pacific coastline

Flavor Profile: Ocean-clean, lightly sweet, with a soft umami finish

Texture: Velvety, firm, with superior plate integrity for high-end plating

Comparison: Comparable to Santa Barbara uni in quality; preferred by many for its mild, clean finish

Usage: Perfect for nigiri, sashimi, crudo, uni risotto, or premium tasting menus

Packaging: Fresh-packed and shipped cold to maintain peak quality

For chefs and seafood connoisseurs seeking a high-performance, globally competitive alternative to Santa Barbara uni, Chilean Sea Urchin Roe is a discerning choice that delivers without compromise.
