Deep roots tie the Testa family to fishing and to the small Sicilian fishing village of Ognina: this is where the Essenza di Sicilia – Bluefin Tuna Fillets in Extra Virgin Olive Oil 620 g are born.

Essenza di Sicilia – Bluefin Tuna Fillets in Extra Virgin Olive Oil 620 g

The family's history goes back at least two centuries, and even today there is a street in the village named after them. Bluefin tuna fishing is a true passion and demands great precision, and it takes place in just thirty days a year. Bluefin tuna is a protected marine species whose catch is regulated by ICCAT quotas, which limit it by number and weight. Thanks to this, the Mediterranean is being repopulated with this species.

Bluefin Tuna Fishing

Bluefin tuna arrive in the Mediterranean in April, passing from the ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar. The fishing season is concentrated in 30 days between May and June. The tuna, caught with purse seine nets, are quickly transferred. They are placed in large pens in the Sicilian sea and fed only on oily 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 firmness, flavour and nutritional values make bluefin tuna a true delicacy.

The authentic essence of Sicily, a preserve with a unique flavour. Top-quality ingredients and artisan tradition, to bring to your table all the character and aromas of our land.
