Exceptionally high-quality, healthy, and exquisite gastronomic solutions, ready to open and enjoy at any time of the year.

Almadraba Tuna Preserves: The Legacy of Sustainable Fishing

Preserved almadraba bluefin tuna is much more than a premium ingredient; it is the result of a tradition dating back centuries. Catches take place strictly from April to June in the almadrabas of Conil, Barbate, Zahara de los Atunes, and Tarifa, taking advantage of the fish's natural migration.

This fixed-net system is an international example of selective and environmentally friendly fishing, as only adult specimens are caught, protecting the species' natural cycles and ensuring that the area's marine ecosystem remains intact. Only through this respect for the sea is it possible to obtain such a unique raw material, world-famous for its matchless fat marbling and its firm, juicy texture.

The Secret of Demanding Artisanal Production

For a product of such excellence to keep its qualities intact on your table, the subsequent process is entrusted to the most prestigious traditional cannery houses along our coast (such as Gadira and El Rey de Oros). Demanding standards in selection and packaging follow traditional steps to ensure maximum freshness and food safety:

• Immediate Butchery and Preparation: After capture, the tuna is processed quickly to safeguard its organoleptic qualities. Expert ronqueadores (master butchers) and master canners meticulously separate each cut to dedicate it to its ideal preserve.
• Manual Packing : The loins, bellies, or traditional stews are hand-packed, piece by piece, into glass jars and cans, ensuring a clean and immaculate presentation.
• The Pairing with Olive Oil: Almadraba tuna finds its perfect ally in olive oil. This natural liquid covering enhances the briny nuances and velvety richness of the fish without altering its original flavor, allowing the preserve to gain smoothness and intensity over time.
