Bluefin Tuna Fillets in Sunflower Oil 1700 g

The company's commitment to research and fieldwork at sea is most evident in the catching and processing of bluefin tuna. Bluefin tuna is in fact a protected marine species, and its catch is regulated by ICCAT quotas, which limit the catch by number and weight. Thanks to this, the Mediterranean is being repopulated with this species.

In April, bluefin tuna arrive in the Mediterranean, passing from the ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar. The fishing season is concentrated into 30 days between May and June. The specimens caught with purse seine nets are quickly transferred. They are placed in large pens in the Sicilian sea and fed only on blue fish (herring and sardines), so as to give their meat the best properties: a high content of unsaturated fats and omega-3. A very rapid process follows: in 4 minutes the tuna goes from the sea to deep-freezing at minus 70°. Fishing, preservation and processing take place within a circular supply chain owned by the company. This guarantees a high standard of quality. Every jar of preserves bears the BCD number (Bluefin Tuna Catch Document), a sort of “identity card” for bluefin tuna that guarantees its traceability from sea to table. Its firm texture, flavour and nutritional values make bluefin tuna a true delicacy.
