Deep roots tie the Testa family to fishing and to the small Sicilian fishing village of Ognina, which is where Sicilia Express with Bluefin Tuna comes from.

Sicilia Express with Bluefin Tuna

The family's history goes back at least two centuries, and to this day the village still has a street named after them. Bluefin tuna fishing is a true passion that demands 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 into 30 days between May and June. The tuna, caught with purse seine nets, are quickly transferred and placed in large pens in the waters off Sicily, where they are fed only on oily fish (herring and sardines) so as to give their flesh the best properties. They have 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 all 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.

An elegant selection that brings together three prized expressions of bluefin tuna: fillet, belly and buzzonaglia. Three different cuts, each with its own characteristics and nuances of flavour, offering a complete and authentic tasting experience. A refined selection that highlights the quality of the raw materials and the artisan tradition of Testa Conserve. Perfect to give as a gift or to share with those who love gastronomic excellence, and also ideal to enjoy on its own to appreciate every nuance of bluefin tuna.
