Olasagasti - White Tuna Belly - Ventresca

£14.95

Ventresca de Bonito Del Norte

Ventresca is the fatty belly cut that Basque fishermen traditionally kept for themselves. That’s not likely these days. This premium section from line-caught bonito del Norte has a rich, almost creamy texture that sets tuna belly apart from other cuts.

Olasagasti packs it simply in olive oil. Each piece has substantial weight but with a melt on the tongue quality, with natural oils that make everything it touches taste better. The oil from the tin deserves to dress whatever you're serving.

Excellent on toast with lemon and good salt, or as the centrepiece of salade niçoise. This is what premium tinned tuna delivers.

Ingredients: Albacore Tuna (Thunnus alalunga) (fish), olive oil, salt.

About Olasagasti

Olasagasti brings together Italian preservation know-how with the bounty of the Cantabrian Sea. From their Markina factory in Bizkaia, this century-old Basque brand crafts premium Spanish tinned seafood with a focus on quality.

Their conservas start with sustainable fishing—local arrantzales (Basque fishermen) catch wild Cantabrian anchovies at spring's peak and line-caught Bonito del Norte tuna when perfectly mature. These prized catches arrive at dawn from nearby ports, never frozen, keeping their character intact.

The heart of Olasagasti lies in their careful handling: anchovies immediately brined, aged for months, then hand-filleted. Their ventresca tuna belly preserves offer that lovely melt-in-mouth feel, while their San Sebastian-style anchovy fillets with garlic and cayenne show off regional flavours at their best.
