Description
Bonito del Norte flakes in olive oil offer a versatile format for frequent use while maintaining the quality of the traditional Basque harvest. These flakes are captured using sustainable methods in the Bay of Biscay.
Craft & Origin
Arroyabe processes this white tuna in Bermeo, a Basque coastal village with a canning heritage dating to the 19th century. The Thunnus alalunga is caught individually using pole and line during the summer harvest. This method prevents fish stress and ensures the integrity of the muscle tissue. Following a gentle brine cook, the flakes from the loin cuts are hand packed in olive oil to preserve moisture and flavor. Arroyabe maintains control over their local supply chain to guarantee regional legitimacy and historical continuity.
Flavor & Texture
Clean oceanic flavor with a mild olive oil finish. The texture is firm yet easy to flake for uniform distribution.
How to Use
Mix into green salads and pasta dishes or use for high quality tuna salad with capers.
