In summer, the fish markets are full of magnificent tuna, the undisputed king of the season on the Vizcaya coast. This is its prime moment in terms of smoothness and quality. You have to make the most of it! Not an ounce of this treasure can be left to go to waste – we’re clear on that.

 For more than a century, during the bonito season, activity in the area has been frenetic. There isn’t a single woman of the sea who isn’t working, and all skilled hands are needed.  

 The canning tradition makes it possible to enjoy tuna all year round, and without having to cook!

For more than a century we’ve been following the same procedures to put the best quality tuna in oil on your table.

 If you were to take a picture of us and compare it with one taken here fifty years ago, you’d see very little difference. The only difference, perhaps, would be in the clothes. Fashions change, but we still peel, clean and package fish in the same way: by hand.

 Those of us who work with such a special product as the tuna belly put all our efforts into it. We know that, by taking care of each portion of tuna belly, we are taking care of our product, and also of its well-deserved reputation as a delicacy of great taste and nutritional quality.
