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

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

The family's history goes back at least two centuries, and to this day the village has a street named after them. Bluefin tuna fishing is a true passion and demands great precision, and it takes place in only 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 the 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 sea off Sicily 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. The firmness, flavour and nutritional values make bluefin tuna a true delicacy.

A speciality of absolute distinction from Testa Conserve: bluefin tuna belly, famous for the extraordinary tenderness and delicacy of its flesh. Preserved in fine Sicilia IGP extra virgin olive oil, it holds all the authentic taste of Sicilian tradition.

The 620 g size, presented in an elegant case and accompanied by a refined tasting tong, makes it an exclusive choice, designed for true connoisseurs and lovers of gastronomic excellence.
