About Santa Catarina

Santa Catarina embodies the maritime culture of the Azores, crafting premium Atlantic pole-caught tuna from the archipelago's waters. Founded in 1995 in Vila da Calheta on São Jorge Island, this cannery revitalised the region's historic preservation traditions.

Their dedication to the sustainable "Pole & Line" fishing method has earned both "Dolphin Safe" and "Friend of the Sea" certifications. Skilled local women hand-trim and pack each piece, creating vital jobs in this small island community.

Santa Catarina maintains a "quality over quantity" philosophy. Each hand-packed Portuguese tuna conserva preserves the fish's natural texture and rich flavour, explaining their numerous international awards.
