José Gourmet - Ventresca Tuna in Olive Oil
Ventresca (or Ventrusca) the belly of the tuna - the fatty, indulgent bit that most people never get to try. This is just a thing you need to try if you haven’t already; it's what happens when the Portuguese take the best part of a line-caught fish and treat it with the respect it deserves.
The texture is almost obscene - rich, buttery tuna that practically dissolves on your tongue. The olive oil isn't just there for preservation; it becomes infused with all that tuna fat until opening the tin feels like a small celebration.
Stir it through hot spaghetti with garlic and chilli for something that tastes like you actually know what you're doing. Or just eat it straight from the tin with good bread - if you grow your own tomatoes, add a slice or two.
Ingredients: Tuna (Thunnus Albacaris) (70%), olive oil (29.3%) salt.

José Gourmet connects Portugal's small-scale canneries with international markets through carefully selected premium Portuguese tinned fish. Named for the Hebrew word meaning "one who adds," the brand brings added value to traditional seafood.
Their collection features the Atlantic's quality offerings—Portuguese sardines with clean flavors; mackerel that maintains its character; and traditional tuna preserves that reflect Portugal's fishing expertise.
Designer Luís Mendonça shaped their identity by commissioning artwork from Portuguese illustrators for each label. These distinctive tins are instantly recognisable in specialty shops across Europe and North America. Served simply—with bread, citrus, and a glass of wine—these artisanal conservas deliver an authentic taste of Portugal's coastal traditions.
