This Salted Mackerel is an authentic expression of the Mediterranean's oldest canning tradition. Made with "Japonicus" mackerel, a variety prized for its firm, flavorful flesh, it is caught in the Sardinian Sea (FAO Area 37.1.3) and processed fresh.

The fillets, after being carefully salted with sea salt to concentrate their flavors and tenderize the meat, are preserved in a fine extra virgin olive oil. The result is a product with a strong character and a bold flavor, an ingredient capable of transforming any dish with its unique personality.

The roots of this Mediterranean Salted Mackerel are deep in tradition

Before refrigeration, salting was the only method to preserve the precious blue fish and ensure its availability all year round.

This technique, passed down from generation to generation, is an art that requires precision and experience. The producer, "Le Due Torri," is a custodian of this knowledge, applying traditional methods to create a product that truly takes you on a journey through time.

Each fillet tells a story of the sea, the sun, and the peasant wisdom that knew how to transform simple ingredients into treasures of flavor.

Choosing Mediterranean Salted Mackerel means taking care of yourself

Mackerel is a nutritionally exceptional oily fish, renowned for its high content of Omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality proteins, and B vitamins. The salting process enhances its organoleptic profile, making it a powerful natural flavor enhancer: a small amount is enough to add character to sauces, salads, and pasta dishes.

Using it in cooking allows you to reduce the need for additional salt, while still benefiting from the extraordinary properties of this fish, preserved in extra virgin olive oil that completes its health profile.
