- Mestre Saul The new product on the block
Although a very unusual 2020, Santa Catarina launched last September 4th, a new brand called Mestre Saul, in honour of an old man who brought the art of canning to São Jorge Island in the 50’s of XX century: Maturated Tuna Fillets in Olive oil for more than 12 months in the dark and at a controlled temperature. Texture and flavour beyond all known levels!
- What is Pole-and-Line? One Man, One Hook, One Fishing Pole and One Fish
Modernising traditional methods isn’t always easy. But Santa Catarina managed just that, joining traditional methods with contemporary demands in a successful effort. We are talking about “Pole and Line fishing”, meaning, one Man, one Hook, one Fishing pole and one Fish.
The social responsibility of companies has an increasingly important role, even more so if we’re talking about small places. The island of São Jorge has a population of about 8900 inhabitants. 4000 live in the district of Calheta, where 130 work directly for the Santa Catarina factory: it is the biggest employer of São Jorge. The tuna is still processed (cleaned and cut) by hand and the consumer knows that, they understand that that “little can” was wrapped with care by a person, not a machine.
