Mediterranean Context

In Mediterranean cuisine, tuna represents substance.

Unlike smaller coastal fish, tuna offers a firmer structure and higher protein content, making it suitable for both simple plates and more filling meals. Preserving tuna in olive oil protects its texture while allowing it to remain versatile and ready for use.

This approach values nourishment without heaviness.

The Character of Tuna Fillets

Firm and Structured Flesh

Tuna fillets hold their shape, offering a satisfying bite without dryness.

Balanced Richness

Olive oil rounds the natural density of tuna, preventing heaviness while enhancing flavor.

Traditional Preparation Approach

Careful Cutting and Cooking

Tuna is portioned into fillets and gently cooked to preserve integrity.

Preserved in Olive Oil

Olive oil maintains moisture and supports long-term stability.

Pasteurized for Safety

Pasteurization ensures shelf life while protecting texture and flavor.
