Zallo - Ventresca De Bonito Del Norte - White Tuna Belly
Ventresca is the cut that everyone needs to try. This is the belly of Zallo's line-caught Albacore - the fatty, luxurious section that melts in the mouth, with a texture that’s rich and indulgent.
Most people never get near ventresca because there's not much of it per fish, and what there is usually disappears into the best restaurants. Zallo takes this prized cut from their Cantabrian Sea catch and packs it in olive oil that becomes infused with all that natural tuna fat.
Don't overcomplicate it - this is best eaten simply on good bread with nothing more than a sprinkle of salt and maybe a squeeze of lemon.
Ingredients: White Tuna (fish) (72%), olive oil, salt.

From Bermeo's historic fishing port in Spain's Basque Country comes Zallo, capturing northern Spain's seafood expertise since 1970. Their pole-and-line caught albacore (bonito del norte) ensures zero by-catch while delivering exceptional quality from the nutrient-rich waters of the Cantabrian Sea.
Their escabeche preparation—bright with paprika, olive oil and wine vinegar—creates a perfect counterpoint to the meaty albacore fillets. The fish remains firm yet tender, never mushy as lesser tinned tuna can be. This traditional Basque preservation method transforms good fish into something memorable without masking its clean, distinctive character.
Zallo maintains close relationships with local fishing fleets, supporting sustainable practices that have defined this seafaring region for generations. For a simple but wonderful plate, lay their tuna across sliced tomatoes with black olives and peppery greens—the escabeche sauce doubles as a ready-made dressing.
