Albacore Tuna in Menaica Extra Virgin Anchovy Oil

Albacore Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil brings the most elegant of Mediterranean tuna to the jar: the albacore (Thunnus alalunga), known as "white tuna" for its pale, firm, and delicate flesh. It's caught here in FAO 37 waters and hand-processed in the Pisciotta laboratory. Just three ingredients—albacore tuna (80%), extra virgin olive oil (18%), and sea salt—and the artisanal care that distinguishes all of the company's Cilento products: whole slices, gentle cooking, and extra virgin olive oil that envelops and refines, not just a simple preserving liquid. A classic Mediterranean pantry staple in its finest form, ready to transform salads, first courses, and second courses in an instant.
 
 
 

The roots of this Albacore Tuna are deep in tradition

Before tuna became a canned food, it was a domestic ritual: in Southern homes, between summer and fall, coastal families would stock up on "tunnina"—boiled, salted, and oiled tuna in glass jars—building their winter protein pantry. Albacore tuna was the season's most coveted prize: traditionally caught by line off the Tyrrhenian coast when the waters cooled, albacore was considered the finest of the family, reserved for the best jars and special occasions. This jar reiterates that exact gesture: hand-crafted, slice by slice, as it was done in home kitchens when preserving seafood was a family art.
 
 
 

Choosing Albacore Tuna means taking care of yourself

Albacore tuna is a powerhouse of Mediterranean nutrition: 26,32 g of high-quality protein per 100 g—among the highest levels of any food—with the healthy fats of fish, rich in omega-3s beneficial for the heart and mind, and virtually zero carbohydrates. Extra virgin olive oil adds its oleic acid and antioxidants, completing a profile that is the purest Mediterranean diet. With just three ingredients, no additives or preservatives, and a hand-crafted recipe that respects the raw ingredients, it's the healthiest ready-to-eat protein in the pantry: open, drain, and eat.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Albacore Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• TWO-WAY RICE SALAD – The great classic, in a signature version: shell the tuna on the Organic Ribe Ennio Rice for the traditional recipe, or on the Organic Ebony Black Rice for a scenic black and white salad.
• SPRINT TUNA AND DATTERINO PASTA – The best life-saving dinner there is: heat the Organic Datterino puree, add the tuna at the end of cooking so as not to dry it out and sauté the homemade pasta: accompany with a Organic Rice Beer fresh for the perfect evening.
• CRISPY TUNA MEATBALLS – Drain and mash the tuna with boiled potatoes and herbs, form the meatballs and pass them through the Organic Fine Rice Flour before browning them in the pan: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and naturally gluten-free.
