MSC Northern Bluefin Tuna Belly

In organic extra virgin olive oil

The "Albacore tuna" or "Thunnus alalunga" has an intense sea flavor, light-colored flesh, and properties that have undoubtedly made it the king of tuna. The belly cut is a triangular-shaped piece located on the underside of the fish, near the head. The belly's unique characteristics that give it its reputation as a delicacy are: its fat content, which provides a much more intense, refined, and delicate flavor than the rest of the fish; its gelatinous texture; and its flaky texture, ideal for preparing appetizers, preserves, and oven-baking. Once the best specimens are selected and cooked, the fish is prepared and packaged using traditional techniques. Finally, premium organic olive oil is added, with just the right amount to ensure the belly of the Albacore tuna retains its unique flavor and qualities.
