Bonito Tuna "Ventresca" White Tuna Belly (Alalunga)

This tin is 18% bigger than previous Ventresca tins we have sold, so it is a little more money overall but about the same per ounce. Other tins of Ventresca also went up in price, so we chose Alalunga as we think they are doing the BEST Ventresca out there.

Fresh from Cantabria, these delicate slices of ventresca are cooked sous-vide and preserved in the finest olive oil. Spain’s smallest cannery transforms tuna to decadent luxury.

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 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.

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.
