Rosso di Mazara is a Sicilian brand born from a long family history connected with fishing and the sea of Mazara del Vallo. A project dedicated to celebrating Mazara red prawn was born from the depths of the Mediterranean. The experience of fishermen, careful selection of raw ingredients and gastronomic research come together in specialities that transform one of the symbols of Mazara’s fishing tradition into original ingredients for the kitchen.

The family history behind Rosso di Mazara dates back to 1929, when a professional journey built around the sea and fishing first began. Almost a century of maritime experience preceded the creation of the Rosso di Mazara brand. The brand was established in 2014 to give a distinctive identity to the red prawn selected by the family and to transform a tradition handed down through generations into a contemporary project.
Today, Rosso di Mazara combines knowledge of the seabed, the work of its own fishing fleet and dedicated systems for tracing the raw material. The supply chain begins directly at sea. The red prawn is selected during fishing trips and handled with particular care to preserve its characteristics, creating a valuable base for gastronomic specialities such as granules, elixir and bisque.
A story of the sea since 1929
The relationship with the sea began long before the creation of the brand. Generations of fishermen built their experience from the port of Mazara del Vallo and through their knowledge of the Mediterranean. Fishing is first and foremost a craft handed down within the family. It is from this maritime culture that the identity later brought together under the Rosso di Mazara name was born.
The brand was founded in 2014 with the aim of distinguishing and enhancing the red prawn selected by the family. Rosso di Mazara transforms a family story into a distinctive gastronomic identity. Today, alongside the whole crustacean, the project also offers new interpretations designed to bring its intensity and aromas to a wide variety of preparations.
Red prawn and the deep Mediterranean
Red prawn lives in the deep waters of the Mediterranean and is caught by the Mazara del Vallo fishing fleet. Depth, marine environment and careful selection all contribute to defining its identity. The company describes a journey that begins on the seabed and continues through the work of fishermen, selection and control of the raw material.
The Rosso di Mazara fleet consists of vessels dedicated to deep-sea fishing, where experience and knowledge of the sea remain fundamental. Quality is pursued from the very moment of fishing. Selection on board and careful management of the cold chain help preserve a raw material intended both for direct consumption and for gastronomic transformation.
From the prawn head to new specialities
Some of the most intense flavours of the prawn are concentrated in the head and shell, where juices, coral and marine aromas are found. Rosso di Mazara also enhances these parts through preparations of remarkable gastronomic intensity. The raw ingredient can therefore become the basis of seasonings and preparations designed to convey the character of the crustacean even in small quantities.
This philosophy makes it possible to create products with different textures and uses while maintaining the same origin. Red prawn therefore becomes a versatile ingredient beyond its traditional form. Granules, elixir and bisque make it possible to bring its aromatic profile to pasta, risottos, starters and contemporary recipes.
Rosso di Mazara products selected for you
The selection includes red prawn granules, red prawn elixir and red prawn bisque. Three different interpretations of the same Mediterranean protagonist. The granules, offered in the Sublime line, concentrate red prawn into small grains enriched with delicate Mediterranean notes, making them suitable as a finishing touch for pasta dishes, seafood preparations and gourmet recipes.
Messàge in the Bottle elixir is an aromatic seasoning designed to be used in just a few drops, particularly raw or at the end of preparation, while Ambrosìa bisque offers a smooth texture and a more enveloping marine flavour. Each product allows red prawn to be used in a different way. The bisque is particularly suitable for pasta, risottos and soups, while the elixir and granules can complete a dish with a more concentrated finishing touch.
Innovation and full use of the raw ingredient
Rosso di Mazara specialities offer a contemporary interpretation of a tradition deeply connected with fishing. Gastronomic research expands the possibilities for using red prawn. A raw ingredient normally associated with eating the whole crustacean is transformed into textures and formats that can also be used easily in everyday cooking.
This approach also makes it possible to enhance parts of the prawn that are particularly rich in flavour. The aim is to preserve the intensity of the sea by transforming it into an ingredient. The result is a range designed for those who want to add character to their dishes while maintaining a strong connection with Mazara del Vallo and its maritime culture.
Rosso di Mazara in the kitchen
Bisque, elixir and granules can be used separately or combined within the same preparation. Pasta and risottos are among the most natural pairings. The bisque can become the creamy base of a dish, the elixir can be added at the end of cooking to intensify its aroma, and the granules can complete the presentation by adding texture and flavour.
These products are also suitable for bruschetta, seafood starters and more creative dishes. Small quantities are enough to give a recipe a distinctive character. The Rosso di Mazara selection therefore brings three different expressions of red prawn into the kitchen, united by the same maritime origin and strong connection with Mazara del Vallo.
A story that continues from sea to table
Rosso di Mazara continues to develop its project from the experience of fishermen and knowledge of the Mediterranean. Family tradition and contemporary vision coexist within the same identity. From fishing and selection to transformation, every stage helps tell the story of the relationship between the brand and the sea.
Granules, elixir and bisque show how red prawn can be interpreted in different ways without losing the connection with its origin. Three specialities tell one shared story of the sea. A selection created for those seeking intense flavours and ingredients capable of bringing the character of Mazara del Vallo’s fishing tradition into the kitchen.
