Santa Catarina Gourmet Tuna Fillets in Organic Olive Oil
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 its traditional hand-packing methods and its close connection to the region's long tuna fishing heritage.
This tin features tuna fillets packed in organic olive oil, one of the most traditional preparations in the conservas world. With only a few ingredients involved, it provides a clear look at the quality of the fish and the craftsmanship behind the production.
The tuna is pole-and-line caught in the waters surrounding the Azores, a fishing method that has been practiced in the islands for generations. After cooking, the fillets are trimmed and packed by hand, a process that remains central to Santa Catarina's approach.
For customers interested in traditional tuna conservas, this tin offers a straightforward introduction to one of Portugal's most respected island producers and the seafood culture of the Azores.
Serve with boiled potatoes and a drizzle of the olive oil from the tin.
