Product Description
This can contains the most prized cut of tuna, the belly or "ventresca" as it is called in Spain. The tuna's belly has the highest fat content, and so it is the richest in flavor and the silkiest in texture.
The belly of the tuna is also the most highly sought after cut in Japan for sushi and sashimi.
There is only a small amount of this delicious cut on a fish, and so the price is significantly higher, but your salads and pastas will be taken to new heights of flavor.
This is the authentic White Tuna, Bonita Del Norte, from the dense tuna banks in the waters off of the coast of the Basque Country. The fishing boats of Ortiz, the premier name in seafood packing, capture the fish using traditional methods, which respect the environment and avoid hurting dolphins or any other marine species.
Bonita Del Norte, the albacore tuna, (Thunnus Alalunga) is the most oceanic species in the tuna family. They are all warm blooded, pelagic and migratory and they form shoals. The Atlantic White Tuna carries out two migrations in its lifetime, which are easily differentiated by its stage of maturity. Then they return towards their places of origin.
Bonita Del Norte fishing takes place in the Cantabrian Sea during the summer months when, coming from the Azores Sea, the fish appear annually in the waters of the Bay of Biscay, where they tend to be located on the warm side of the thermal waters, feeding on horse-mackerel and mackerel eggs and larvae.
They cook and pack the tuna in olive oil to preserve the tuna's highly prized flavor.110 gr.

Not a fan of capitol punishment? Well, guess what... you'll be standing in line after you taste this velvet tuna belly fillet from pure spanish waters. Your last meal will never be more enjoyed. Even the pope likes it.
Who'da thought we'd spend $40 a lb for canned tuna... and like it? April 27, 2006

Just came back from Spain and was reading The New Spanish Table by Anya von Bremzen. She had a sidebar where she raved about Ventresca Tuna (of course, what she was eating was specially canned for Chef Juan Mari Arzak, the Spanish heavy hitter.) But after she raved on and on, I decided to see what the hoo-ha was about. So I bought a can. And it made just about every other canned tuna I'd ever tasted seem like cat food. This stuff is the real deal.

If you can afford to try this even once - then do it! But I'll guarantee that you'll be ordering again. It's not just that taste that defines the quality of this tuna but its velvety texture as well. Not for tuna sandwiches! (how dare you even think that!)

This is not your average canned tuna at $10.00 a tin, but if you are looking for a gourmet canned tuna experience this is it. I have seen the same product in Michigan for $17.99 a tin, so $9.99 is quite the bargain. I made a simple butter lettuce salad, flaked the tuna on top, reserving the olive oil in the tin for the dressing of sea salt, ground pepper, lemon juice and a couple of capers. It got rave reviews.
Ortiz has different grades and Amazon has the best prices, try one of each in a side by side comparison, include a can of the best tuna you can find in your local grocery store then decide for yourself.
On a side note, has anyone noticed that Amazon's prices are better that eBay prices?
