Yellowfin Tuna Fillets in EVO Oil

8,50 €

It is presented in its packaging with fillets of a warm and uniform pink, compact and well defined, immersed in extra virgin olive oil with a green gold color characteristic of a quality oil. The fillets are visibly whole and structured — not chopped or artificially compacted — with that natural leafing of hand-crafted tuna meat that is clearly seen before tasting it. The color of the pulp is a pink tending to amber, darker than industrial canned tuna and lighter than bluefin tuna — the authentic color of yellowfin worked with respect. The extra virgin olive oil that wraps the fillets is clear and golden, with greenish reflections that tell its quality. At the opening the scent is marine and delicate — fresh tuna, fruity extra virgin olive oil, a sea salt tip — clean and inviting. To the touch the fillets are browsed naturally, soft and compact together. It’s the tuna of those who know the difference.

Yellowfin Tuna Fillets in EVO Oil – The Sustainable Sea in the Plate

The tuna that respects the sea

Not all tuna are the same, and the difference begins before processing: from the choice of how to fish it. The Yellow Fin Tuna of the Sant’Agata Oil Mill comes from sustainable fishing in the oceans, carried out with selective methods that reduce the accidental catches of other species and respect the marine ecosystem. It is not a façade certification — it is a choice that tells the philosophy of a manufacturer who thinks about the future of the sea as well as the quality of the product.

Yellowfin, the tuna of connoisseurs

The Thunnus Albacares — yellowfin tuna or yellowfin — is among the most appreciated varieties of tuna for the quality of meats: firm and compact pulp, delicate and natural flavor, warm and uniform pink color. It does not have the fatness of bluefin tuna or the neutrality of industrial canned tuna — it is in the perfect medium, with a recognizable but never intrusive aromatic personality, which lends itself to both direct consumption and use in the kitchen.

Handcrafted, with craftsmanship

Handworking is the guarantee that preserves what sustainable fishing has selected. The fillets are processed with artisanal care to keep the compact consistency of the meat intact — no shredding, no artificial compaction. Each fillet maintains its natural structure, leafing through the touch with that softness characteristic of fresh tuna worked with respect.

The extra virgin olive oil at 24%, not a detail

The choice to store fillets in 24% extra virgin olive oil — instead of the more common generic olive oil — is a quality statement you hear. Extra virgin olive oil is not only a means of preservation but an active ingredient: it enriches the fillets with its natural polyphenols, adds a fruity and slightly herbaceous note that completes the delicate flavor of yellowfin tuna and contributes to the overall nutritional profile of the product.

On the table, without limits

The Yellowfin Frantoio Sant’Agata Tuna Fillets are extraordinary in every context: as a second course with a drizzle of lemon and capers, to enrich fresh salads in season, as the protagonist of a seafood appetizer, on bruschetta for an elegant aperitif, in a summer rice salad or simply on homemade bread with fresh tomato. Their versatility is the natural consequence of a quality that does not need processing to express itself.
