Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil

Ortiz White Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil are known for their clean, delicate flavour and silky texture. Made using Bonito del Norte (Thunnus alalunga), a smaller variety of tuna prized for its pale flesh and refined taste, each fillet is carefully hand-trimmed and packed in olive oil to preserve its natural character.

Caught by rod and line in the Bay of Biscay, the fish is handled with care from catch to tin, resulting in tender flakes that hold their shape while remaining soft and moist. The olive oil adds a gentle richness without masking the flavour, allowing the quality of the tuna to come through.

This white tuna is best enjoyed simply, where its texture and flavour can stand out. It works particularly well in fresh salads, light lunches, or served with just a few well-chosen ingredients.

What makes Bonito del Norte different from other tuna?

It is a smaller species of albacore tuna with finer flesh and a milder, more delicate flavour compared to larger, more robust tuna varieties.

Is this tuna suitable for eating straight from the tin?

Yes, it is ready to eat and often enjoyed as it is, thanks to its soft texture and balanced flavour.

Why is olive oil used instead of brine?

Olive oil helps retain moisture and enhances the texture, giving the tuna a richer mouthfeel while still allowing its natural flavour to come through.
