Description
Alalunga Albacore Loins Escabeche is hand-packed in Cantabria using a traditional marinade of vinegar and spices. This preparation highlights the firm texture of the tuna while providing a bright acidity.
Craft & Origin
The albacore is pole-and-line caught in the Cantabrian Sea during the summer harvest. Alalunga uses a refined escabeche recipe featuring Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, wine vinegar, and laurel. Each loin is processed by hand to preserve the muscle structure and ensure the marinade penetrates evenly. The maker works directly with local fishing fleets to guarantee full traceability for every tin. This small-batch approach prioritizes historical preservation methods and ingredient transparency without the use of chemical additives.
Flavor & Texture
Tangy and acidic with a clean oceanic profile. The loins are exceptionally firm and meaty.
How to Use
Serve chilled with crusty bread or flake into a potato salad.
Why We Like It
This escabeche utilizes high-quality Arbequina oil which adds a buttery depth often missing from mass-market vinegar marinades.
