Red Tuna

The company's commitment to study and work campaigns in the marine field is evident above all with the capture and processing of Mediterranean red tuna. In fact, bluefin tuna is one protected marine species whose catch is regulated by quotas ICCAT which limit their capture by number and weight. Thanks to this, the Mediterranean is being repopulated with this species.

Bluefin tuna arrive in the Mediterranean in April via the ocean Strait of Gibraltar. The fishing season is concentrated in 30 days between May and June. The specimens caught with surrounding nets are quickly transferred. Placed in large tanks in the Sicilian sea and fed only with blue fish (herrings and sardines) so as to guarantee the best properties for its meat. A high in unsaturated fats and omega-3. Following a very rapid process in 4 minutes the tuna passes from the sea to freezing at minus 70°.

Fishing, conservation and transformation within a circular supply chain owned by the company. This guarantees a high standard of quality.

Testa Conserve

Anno 1381: una impressionante eruzione dell‘Etna rimodella una parte della costa a nord di Catania. L’antico ed importante porto di Ulisse viene riplasmato nel piccolo e pittoresco porticciolo di Ognina, alle foci del fiume Lognina. Questo porticciolo ubicato in uno dei tratti di costa piú belli della Sicilia. Questo è lo scalo da dove da 200 anni la famiglia Testa mette a mare le proprie barche per la pesca del pesce azzurro e del tonno. Le antiche barche a vela di legno hanno lasciato il posto a barche a motore negli anni ’50 del secolo scors. Venti anni dopo sono arrivate le grandi navi moderne in acciaio e forti di questa tradizione e passione è nata la linea Testa Conserve.

Seafood preserves

Since then, fishing for blue fish has been joined by al bluefin tuna. Bluefin tuna is one protected marine species. Its fishing is possible only by combining 3 aspects: knowledge of the sea and its currents, love for the territory and the fish fauna and transparency and full compliance with the laws in force. In fact, from the Atlas, the 42-metre long ship equipped with the fishing of bluefin tuna. On board the presence of an observer from the ICCAT (world organization for the protection of species), the capture of each individual specimen is communicated to the Ministry of Agricultural and Food Resources in real time. This is to never exceed the quotas assigned to each individual company.

I would like to reiterate that despite the modern technologies and equipment used, bluefin tuna fishing remains artisanal fishing. A non-intensive fishing that takes place every year between the months of May and June, for 30 days. The tuna are caught with purse seines. After reaching maturity, i.e. between 2 and 4 years and weighing at least 15 kg, they are then transferred to large tanks 50 meters in diameter and 30 meters deep in the Strait of Sicily. Here they are fed exclusively on oily fish until slaughter.

In 2017 the Testa Conserve line was born: a line of seafood products of the highest quality. exclusively fished with their own boats and produced in a virtuous and bio-sustainable way and presented in an elegant and exclusive packaging.
