Little tunny (bacoreta) is one of the most traditional, honest, and deeply rooted oily fishes in the salt-curing culture of the Cádiz coast. Sourced from selected catches in the Western Mediterranean (Subarea 37.1), each piece is hand-crafted at our factory in Barbate under the historic El Rey de Oros seal, respecting the optimal times for salting and controlled natural drying to concentrate all the power and aroma of the ocean.

To adapt to your culinary moments and offer you maximum versatility, at Productos de Almadraba we offer this great seafaring classic in two exclusive, ready-to-enjoy formats: in a noble, clean vacuum-packed loin block, or in convenient pre-sliced trays covered in oil.

How to Choose Your Ideal Little Tunny Format?

Our online shop is designed so you can find the exact option you need for your table, dividing this iconic salt-cured delicacy into two culinary alternatives that complement each other perfectly:

• Little Tunny Loin (250g Block Format): The most noble, clean, and boneless cut of the fish, patiently cured in the traditional way with pure sea salt. It is the ideal choice for salt-cured purists who enjoy making custom cuts at home and playing with slice thicknesses for their nut-paired appetizers or traditional tomato dressings.
• Sliced Little Tunny (170g Tray in Oil): Designed for those seeking maximum convenience without sacrificing the artisanal quality of Barbate. The thin slices of little tunny rest in a coating of refined sunflower oil that softens the salty edge of the cure and provides an extraordinarily tender and velvety texture.

Guarantee of Purity and Artisanal Production in Barbate

Whether you choose the boneless loin block or the pre-sliced tray in oil, you are acquiring a piece of Cádiz’s salt-curing history. At Productos de Almadraba, we maintain a firm commitment to clean processes: we process the fish manually at our Barbate facilities, guaranteeing an organic maturation that enhances the healthy fats of this cherished oily fish. A bite full of character, ideal for pairing with ice-cold beers or local white wines.
