The company's commitment to research and work in the marine field is especially evident in the catching and processing of bluefin tuna. Bluefin tuna is in fact a protected marine species. Fishing is regulated by ICCAT quotas, which limit catches by number and weight. Thanks to this, the Mediterranean is repopulating with this species.

Bluefin tuna arrive in the Mediterranean in April, crossing from the ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar. The fishing season is concentrated in 30 days between May and June. The caught specimens are quickly transferred to large tanks in the sea of Sicily. They are fed only blue fish (herring and sardines) to ensure the best properties in their flesh. A high content of unsaturated fats and omega-3. A very fast process follows: in 4 minutes the tuna goes from the sea to freezing at minus 70°. A very short supply chain and circular work for the family, who thus handle the preservation and processing of bluefin tuna and blue fish in their own facility. This ensures a high standard of quality. Each jar bears the BCD number (Bluefin Tuna Catch Document). A true “identity card†that guarantees traceability from sea to table. Its flesh, flavour, and nutritional values make bluefin tuna a true delicacy.
