Saveur Magazine said Bonito tuna is "one of the great gastronomic pleasures of every day life."

The belly or "Ventresca" of the Bonito del Norte Tuna is the softest and most delicate part of the fish. It presents a much lighter and sweeter palate than the rest of the flesh of the fish, and is considered an exquisite delicacy.

Bonito del Norte is found in the coastal waters of the Bay of Biscay in the Basque region of Spain during the summer season when they come north to dine on the Cantabrian Anchovy. The Bonito del Norte is the most valued member of the tuna family, highly appreciated for its white flesh, exquisite flavor, and delicate texture. This Ortiz specialty is fished using artisanal fishing techniques with the philosophy that we must preserve our earth and its resources. Each tuna is individually line caught and not netted. They are fully dolphin safe.

Within 24 hours of being caught,the best belly fillets are selected, cooked in seawater, and then hand-packed in olive oil to keep them moist and flavorful.

We use it for:

• tuna sandwiches
• stuffing Organic Piquillo Peppers
• salads
• antipasto
• hors d'oeuvres

We know you'll agree, this is very special tuna indeed.

Les Confitures à l’Anciennes Andresy (old fashioned jams) are cooked in copper basins with whole selected fruits, cane sugar, and lemon juice to refine when necessary. No preservatives, coloring agents or artificial flavors... All natural!

Spread it on a baguette, top with a smear of foie gras terrine, arugula, & brie.

This classic flavor is perfectly suited for pork or poultry dishes. Mix in with a sausage stuffing, or spread it on some Manchego for a sweet and salty treat. We love spreading it on slices of bread for a fig and proscuitto sandwich!
