Bonito del Norte is considered to be the finest of tunas in Spain. This mild white tuna has a rich flavor and delicate texture. The tuna is line-caught with rod and hook in the Cantabrian sea, then hand packed in olive oil to keep it moist and flavorful.
Colman Andrews, former Editor-in Chief of Saveur Magazine, writes that Bonito tuna is "one of the great gastronomic pleasures of every day life."
The delicate flavor and texture of Bonito tuna is preserved by the ecological and dolphin-safe line-catching method, as it avoids the stress damage caused by harvesting by net. Enjoy this delicious tuna in salads, sandwiches or as a stuffing for piquillo peppers.
Warning: once you taste this silky smooth tuna, you may never buy another tin of ordinary tuna!
