Developed by two young Sicilian entrepreneurs, this unique ingredient is inspired by an old fishermen’s practice: pressing the heads of red prawns damaged during trawling to extract their intensely flavorful juices for seasoning dishes at sea. Using a patented extraction process, Lalaina transforms the heads and shells of Sicily's prized gamberi rossi into a refined, ready-to-use ingredient. Colatura di Gambero Rosso is a pure extraction of prawn juices and roe, naturally creamy with a vibrant orange hue. Its flavor is deeply concentrated and distinctly marine, balancing briny mineral notes with the subtle sweetness of crustaceans and a rich, savory finish.
Brimming with savory depth, Colatura di Gambero Rosso adds complexity to a wide range of dishes. And a little goes a long way—just 2–3 spoonfuls are enough to transform a dish.
Stir a spoonful into risotto or paella, toss with pasta or use it to build a flavorful base for a seafood stew or pizza sauce.

From the historic fishing port of Mazara del Vallo in western Sicily, Lalaina transforms the prized Gambero Rosso di Mazara del Vallo—one of the Mediterranean’s most coveted red prawns—into a rare, refined ingredient rooted in both tradition and innovation. Founded by local couple Maria Chiara Valdemone and Giuseppe Gaudioso, the company revives an age-old fishermen’s practice of pressing prawn heads to extract their intensely flavorful juices. By recognizing the untapped potential of this byproduct, Lalaina promotes sustainability, reduces waste, and elevates local resources through a time-honored technique reimagined for modern cuisine.
