The exquisite flavor of the best White Tuna – Bonito del Norte – is enhanced by the olive oil that gives it a soft texture and tenderness. As with wine or ham, it is possible to create a canned White Tuna product cellar, as its quality and flavor will improve over the years.
White Tuna (Thunnus alalunga), also known as longfin tuna, is the most prized fish for its texture and flavor. It has a long central fin up to two thirds of its size, which gives it the characteristic name of alalunga, or long fin.
We prepare our White Tuna in olive oil using traditional methods: individually line-caught during the fishing season. It is carefully prepared by hand and packaged in olive oil, both in tins and jars. It has an exquisite flavor and a delicate texture on the palate.
Once opened, in order to maintain all its flavor for up to five days, we recommend keeping the White Tuna in the refrigerator, preferably covered and totally submerged in olive oil, adding more if necessary.
White Tuna is a fish full of benefits for our health:
In this case, olive oil is rich in oleic acid which helps regulate harmful levels of cholesterol in the blood.
If there was such a thing as the perfect tapa, gilda (skewers) would be one of the candidates. And if we add extra Bonito del Norte, all the more so. This delicacy has been with us for years, at bar counters during good times. One of the great pleasures of tapas is to share it with friends over a drink, while tasting some refreshing and tasty gildas. Try making them at home as an appetizer and you will not regret it.
