The company's commitment to research and work in the marine field is especially evident 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 fishing 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 specimens caught with purse seine nets are quickly transferred. They are placed in large tanks in the sea off Sicily and fed only with oily fish (herring and sardines), so as to guarantee the best properties in its meat. A high content of unsaturated fats and omega-3. A very rapid 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 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 sort 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.
