The company's commitment to study and work campaigns in the marine field is evident above all in the catching and processing of Mediterranean 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 repopulating with this species. 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 fish caught with purse seine nets are quickly transferred. They are placed in large tanks in the sea of Sicily and fed only with oily fish (herring and sardines), so as to ensure the best properties in the flesh. A high content of unsaturated fats and omega-3. This is followed by a very rapid process: in 4 minutes the tuna goes from the sea to 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. Each jar of preserves bears the BCD number (Bluefin Tuna Catch Document). A kind of âidentity cardâ for bluefin tuna that guarantees its traceability from sea to table. Its firmness, flavour and nutritional values make bluefin tuna a true delicacy.
