Olasagasti: over 100 years of canning tradition
When we talk about premium albacore tuna, one name stands out above the rest: Olasagasti . Since 1905, this Basque cannery has selected the finest specimens of Thunnus alalunga caught during the coastal season.
Each piece is cleaned and packed by hand, using first-pressed extra virgin olive oil . The result is a preserve with a firm texture, deep flavor, and a juiciness you won't find in any supermarket can.
Loins, belly and trunk: each cut, an experience
Northern bluefin tuna offers different cuts, each with its own unique character. The loins are the finest part: firm, clean, and ideal for salads and main dishes.
The belly is the jewel: the fattiest and most melt-in-your-mouth part of the bonito. And the trunk offers the perfect balance between flavor and versatility.
