The companyâs commitment to research and work at sea is especially evident in the capture and processing of bluefin tuna. Bluefin tuna is in fact a protected marine species, whose catch is regulated by ICCAT quotas that limit fishing by number and weight. Thanks to this, the Mediterranean is seeing this species repopulate.

Bluefin tuna arrive in the Mediterranean in April, coming from the ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar. The fishing season is concentrated in 30 days between May and June. The fish caught with purse seine nets are quickly transferred. They are placed in large tanks in the Sicilian sea and fed only with blue fish (herring and sardines) to ensure the best qualities in the flesh. A high content of unsaturated fats and omega-3. A very fast process follows: in just 4 minutes, the tuna goes from the sea to freezing at minus 70°. Fishing, storage and processing all take place within the companyâs own closed supply chain. This guarantees a high standard of quality. Every jar of preserves shows the BCD number (Bluefin Tuna Catch Document), a sort of âID cardâ for the bluefin tuna that guarantees traceability from sea to table. Its firmness, flavour and nutritional values make bluefin tuna a true delicacy.
