Albacore tuna, known to the Spanish as "bonito del norte", are harvested in the Spring from the Bay of Biscay. The fish is hand trimmed, quickly cooked in salty water, hand packed, topped with olive oil. Clean, meaty texture with long depth of flavour and appealing aroma.
 
Serving Suggestion and Wine Pairing:
Perfect for a traditional Spanish empanada, a simple tuna and roasted red pepper salad, or flaked over warm rice with a squeeze of lemon. Pair with a crisp Rías Baixas Albariño or an Australian Clare Valley Riesling for a bright, citrusy match.
