WHITE TUNA BELLY IN OLIVE OIL
Frinsa
Ventresca de bonito in olive oil is made from the belly meat of white tuna, the tastiest part of the fish. Frinsa prides itself on protecting that delicious natural flavour by packaging the meat with olive oil, which dramatically enhances the flavour of the fish.
This product uses pole and line tuna and the belly meat is removed manually upon entering the factory and immediately packaged, also manually, in the cans. This method efficiently preserves the quality of the meat, before it lands on you plate.
Frinsa only uses tuna caught from pole-and-line or trolling vessels, which supports their sustainability efforts as well as their initiative to provide healthy, delicious and high quality tuna products to their consumers.
