Deep roots bind the Testa family to fishing and to the small Sicilian fishing village of Ognina. The family's history goes back at least two centuries, and to this day there is a street in the village named after them. Bluefin tuna fishing is a true passion and calls for great precision, and it takes place in just thirty days a year. It is here that the Red tuna with sweet and sour onion is produced.

The company's commitment to study and work campaigns in the marine field is evident above all in the catching and processing of bluefin tuna. Bluefin tuna is in fact a protected marine species whose catch is regulated by ICCAT quotas, which limit catches by number and weight. Thanks to this, the Mediterranean is being repopulated with this species.

Red tuna with sweet and sour onion

The bluefin tuna arrive in the Mediterranean in April, 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 sea of Sicily and fed solely on blue fish (herring and sardines), so as to give their flesh 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 the bluefin tuna that guarantees its traceability from sea to table. Its firm texture, flavour and nutritional values make bluefin tuna a true delicacy.

Red tuna with sweet and sour onion is a gastronomic speciality characterised by the rich, distinctive taste of bluefin tuna and by sweet and sour onion, whose balance between sweetness and a slightly acidic note enhances the flavour of the fish.

Harmonious pairing: an ideal combination for those who love Mediterranean flavours. Perfect for starters, aperitifs, bruschetta and gourmet dishes.
