Olasagasti Yellowfin Ventresca Tuna

120 gram tin - Genova, Italy

Olasagasti Yellowfin Ventresca Tuna is a premium product from Conservas Olasagasti, a Basque company with a rich heritage in seafood preservation. 

The company traces its origins to the late 19th century when Salvatore Orlando, an Italian from Sicily, introduced traditional salting techniques to Spain's Cantabrian coast. He married Simona Olasagasti, a Basque woman, and their descendants continued the family tradition, leading to the establishment of Conservas Olasagasti. 

Today, Matteo Orlando, their grandson, upholds the artisanal methods passed down through generations.

The Yellowfin Ventresca, or belly cut, is considered the most flavorful part of the tuna due to its high-fat content. 

Olasagasti sources its tuna from the Cantabrian Sea, known for its pristine waters and rich marine biodiversity. The company employs sustainable fishing practices, using traditional hook-and-line methods to ensure minimal environmental impact. 

The tuna is hand-packed in extra virgin olive oil and salt, preserving its delicate texture and rich flavor.
