GADIRA TUNA PRESERVATION AND DEFROSTING
In addition to its top quality, the excellence of our Almadraba wild bluefinn tuna lies in its proper handling. GADIRA Tuna is a product that is as special as it is demanding.
Before starting
Deep freezing at -60°C allows us to offer Gadira Tuna all year round, maintaining its organoleptic and nutritional properties just as if it came directly from the almadraba trap. Once you decide to cook it, place it in your refrigerator (between 0 and 5°C) so that it defrosts progressively and slowly without any drastic temperature change.
Items needed to start defrosting
A tray or container that is deep enough to hold it and paper
towels. Next:

STEP BY STEP DEFROST
1. Open and wrap.
Take the product out of the packaging (never defrost it inside its packaging), wrap it in a paper towel and place it in the container. The paper towel will absorb the moisture.
2. Cover.
Cover the container (and not the product) with plastic wrap or a lid, so that air does not enter and the cold does not alter the tuna’s colour.
3. Change the paper towel.
Make sure the paper towel does not get soaked; change it if it absorbs a lot of moisture.
4. Refrigeration time. (between 0 and 5°C).
It will depend on the thickness of the piece and how it will be prepared: -
- Raw (tartare or sashimi). Do not completely defrost the piece, the texture must be solid enough to make a clean, even cut.
- Cooked. Start defrosting it about 24 hours in advance. The time will depend on the hickness of the piece (a 200g fillet will need less time than a block weighing one kilo).
5. Enjoy!
Once defrosted, prepare it to your liking and enjoy a unique delicacy: blue n tuna with its own hallmarks, wild and from almadraba traps.
