Santa Catarina Gourmet Tuna Fillets in Molho Cru

Santa Catarina has been producing tuna on the island of São Jorge in the Azores since the mid-20th century. The company is known for combining traditional hand-packing methods with recipes that reflect the culinary traditions of the Portuguese islands.

This tin features tuna fillets packed in molho cru, a traditional Portuguese sauce whose name translates to "raw sauce." Typically made from ingredients such as onion, parsley, peppers, olive oil, and vinegar, molho cru is used throughout Portugal and the Azores as a fresh accompaniment to fish and seafood.

The tuna used by Santa Catarina is pole-and-line caught in the waters surrounding the Azores, a fishing method long associated with the region's tuna fishery. Each fillet is packed by hand, a practice that remains central to the company's approach.

For customers interested in Azorean conservas, this tin offers a look at a preparation that is closely tied to the local food culture of the islands.

Serve with boiled potatoes and a simple green salad.
