Testa Conserve’s Bluefin Tuna Fillet celebrates the bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), a fish with delicate and tasty flesh, much appreciated for its healthy properties, rich in omega-3. Bluefin tuna is a pelagic fish, known to migrate in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, and is particularly prized for its rich flavour and tender texture. Caught in the Mediterranean Sea (FAO Area 37.2.2 and 37.1.3), the tuna is processed artisanally to maintain its natural tenderness and flavour, following the traditions of Sicilian cuisine and combining the innovation of those who have been fishing and respecting the sea for over 200 years.

The complete production chain, from fishing to processing, is guaranteed by the food company Testa Conserve, which operates in accordance with a Hygienic Safety System according to the HACCP method and in compliance with current regulations. Every stage of processing is carefully followed to guarantee a product of the highest quality.

THE PRODUCER:

The Testa family has been fishing in the Mediterranean for over 200 years. For them, endangering the ocean means endangering their way of life, so they applaud the European Union’s efforts to regulate bluefin tuna production and prevent overfishing. The Testas operate two of the just 21 Italian boats authorized to fish for tuna in the Mediterranean. This could not be further from intensive production; during just thirty days of the year, the Testa family goes out together on their boats for the nearly sacred ritual of bluefin tuna fishing.
