Nortindal Tinta de Calamar - Squid Ink (Large Jar -17.6 fluid oz/500 g

Pricey, but well worth the money. Having grown up in the tropics where fresh - NOT FRESH, FROZEN- calamari is easily available, I missed having calamari en su tinta. Here we can buy beautiful fresh, frozen (isn't that an oxymoron? 😝) squid but the ink sacs are gone. This Nortindal jar of cooking magic solves that dilemma. It's a big jar, one only needs about 2 tablespoons per dish ..... It's worth it. Besides, open it, use what you need, store the rest in the refrigerator. It will keep for a while.

You will get a lot of cuttlefish ink in this container. If you use it often, you may see the value in the purchase. If you use it sparingly - maybe once a month like myself - it's a bottomless abyss of inky goodness. I've personally used it for making black pasta, using no more than a tablespoon at a time. As such, I'll probably only use about half the jar before it expires. That said, if you're planning on getting this to experiment, try finding a smaller container, and certainly go for it. If you're going to use it full-time, such as in a buffet or restaurant setting, have at it! As per the quality of the ingredient and the taste, it's almost a non-issue: the taste is appropriately subtile!

I ordered this and was upset because, while they are similar, this is Cuttlefish ink (look at the lable), not squid ink. It is a brown-black not a blue-black. They did offer to let me return it, but they did not feel they had mis-represented the product. I disagree.

Good quantity and quality for the price. Came appropriately packaged. Just diluted with pasta water and made creamier with butter - tasted just like we had in Venice.

Very tasty. Good for pasta and paella

Authentic!

Excellent
