The company's commitment to study and work campaigns in the marine field is especially evident in the capture and processing of Mediterranean 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 repopulating with this species. Bluefin tuna arrive in the Mediterranean in April, crossing 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 off Sicily and fed only oily fish (herring and sardines), ensuring the best properties for their 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 being flash-frozen at minus 70°. Fishing, storage, and processing all take place within a circular supply chain owned by the company. This ensures a high standard of quality. Every jar of preserves bears the BCD number (Bluefin Tuna Catch Document), a kind of âID cardâ for bluefin tuna that guarantees its traceability from sea to table. Its firmness, flavour, and nutritional values make bluefin tuna a true delicacy.
