Yurrita White Tuna in Olive Oil
$10.00
Chunks of Bonito del Norte from the coast of the Bay of Biscay. They are caught during the summer months using traditional fishing methods through sustainable fishing management. After carefully selecting the freshest tuna, cutting and selecting the belly, the fillets are boiled and cleaned to get rid of the outer skin by expert hands who for generations have worked preparing these canned products. Once the fillets are clean, they are sliced by hand and packed in olive oil. Perfect for salads or a mezze platter.

I wasn’t planning on picking up tinned tuna when visiting the shop; I’m glad that I did! Prior to enjoying the Yurrita tin, I had never had white tuna outside of decent quality grocery store tuna cans that are best served with mayo, tomatoes and pickles. I found the Yurrita white tuna to be tender (great texture!), subtle and delicious on its own. I could see this tuna paired with other subtilely flavored ingredients.

Solid tin. I’m a big fan of tuna and the biggest problem I fear is that its going to be too dry. This one was definitely not too dry. As mentioned in the small note accompanying the tin (thanks team RTG!) the olive oil its in is delicious and worth saving. We made a dressing with it as recommended and that was very very good too. All in all, my favorite bite was with a piece of fresh bread soaked in the olive oil at the end of the tin with a bit of tuna.
