Luxurious Tuna Belly (also known as Ventresca) is the tender, buttery belly cut of albacore tuna, the most prized part of the fish and what we call the wagyu of the sea. Each tin takes 37 minutes to make, resulting in a silky, melt-in-your-mouth bite that feels indulgent and unforgettable. Only about 6 percent of the fish is belly, making this tin a rare treasure meant to be savored slowly and shared with love.

4 oz tin - packed in extra virgin olive oil.

Wild-Caught in the Bay of Biscay: This prized tuna belly (ventresca) is sourced from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Bay of Biscay in Northern Spain, known for producing some of the world’s highest-quality tuna.

Line-Caught, One by One: Each tuna is caught individually using traditional pole-and-line methods, a time-honored, sustainable practice passed down through generations of Basque fishermen. This selective method ensures the quality of each catch and minimizes by catch, preserving marine biodiversity.
