Salanort Bonito Tuna in Oil Reviews

5 Rating 3 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Bonito del Norte is considered by Spaniards to be the finest of tunas. Salanort is a venerable company from the Basque region, famed for its firm, flavorful tuna. Each tuna is line caught by hand, preserving the texture and flavour that can be damaged by the stress of harvesting by net. Colman Andrews, former Editor-in Chief of Saveur Magazine, writes that Bonito tuna is "one of the great gastronomic pleasures of every day life." It is a far cry from the water-packed tuna you get at the supermarket. Warning: once you taste this silky smooth tuna, you may never buy another tin of ordinary tuna. It is great in salads or on sandwiches, as well as a stuffing for piquillo peppers.

This is unlike any other tuna I have bought. Absolutely delicious, in very light oil, makes great salads, baked potatoes, and sandwiches etc. It also keeps well for at least a week in the fridge with just a bit of cling film to cover. Highly recommend.

Don’t want to praise this too much or it might run out! Far far better than the tinned supermarket fare.
