£11.95

Meaty fillets from the Albacore tuna loin preserved in olive oil and Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, and complemented with onion and green pepper.

We've witnessed at first hand the care taken by Alalunga when preparing this tuna. The fish - which is caught seasonally and using sustainable methods in the Cantabrian Sea - is worked with fresh and cooking times are precision measured to ensure optimal flavour and texture.

About the cannery:

Alalunga is a cannery in Cantabria, founded by brothers Alvaro and Pablo Huidobro in 2017. The name is part of the albacore tuna's scientific name: Thunnus Alalunga. The brothers hail from a family of foodies and their knack for cooking, they say, is instinctive, honed on the many family trips to Cantabrian restaurants they took as children, and their grandmother's cooking.

The quality of the Alalunga range is down to a number of factors. Here are three:

Cooking methods that are novel in the canning industry. The brothers use the sous vide technique where fragile white fish like hake and sea bass are sealed inside a vacuum pack and cooked in a water bath at a carefully regulated temperature so as to preserve their delicate flavours and texture. 

Precisely timed recipes. The pair down kitchen tools just before the cooking is complete, and let the steam ovens where the sterilisation process occurs, finish the work and bring the recipes to fruition. 

And most importantly, the highest grade raw materials available are used - seasonally caught cuttlefish, line caught Galician hake, premium sea bass farmed off the Canary Islands, and, in this case, sustainably and seasonally caught Albacore tuna.
