• Ortiz - Bonito del Norte al natural

With this Ortiz product you can enjoy the special Bonito del Norte in its unique natural way, pure in water and without added salt.

Albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), also known as longfin tuna, is the most prized of its kind due to its texture and flavour. It has a long centre fin that makes up to two thirds of its size, which gave it the characteristic name "alalunga" (long fin). They are caught individually in the Bay of Biscay when they have reached their peak maturity. The tuna are then cleaned, cut up and prepared by hand - an absolute mark of quality for Conserverie Ortiz.

The flesh of the Bonito del Norte is very light and has a delicate pink to whitish colour. This distinguishes it from other tuna species with darker flesh. Bonito del Norte has a mild and delicate flavour. Its flesh is particularly tender and juicy, making it a highly sought-after tuna speciality. Bonito del Norte is rich in protein and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D and selenium. Albacore tuna is particularly popular in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine and is often served in various dishes and tapas. Its mild flavour and delicate texture make it a sought-after delicacy in international cuisine. Compared to the "usual" tinned tuna fillets, the difference in flavour and texture alone is truly impressive.
