Santa Catarina Gourmet Tuna Fillets with Azorean Pepper and 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 traditional hand-packing methods and a close connection to the islands' tuna fishing culture.

This tin features pole-and-line caught tuna fillets packed in olive oil with Azorean pepper. Grown in the Azores and used throughout the islands' cuisine, Azorean pepper is a staple condiment that reflects the region's distinctive food culture. Its mild heat and bright acidity have made it a common accompaniment to fish, meat, and vegetables across the archipelago.

The tuna is harvested in the waters surrounding the Azores, where pole-and-line fishing has been practiced for generations. After cooking, the fillets are trimmed and packed by hand, a process that remains central to Santa Catarina's production.

For customers interested in the flavors of the Azores, this tin offers a combination of two ingredients closely associated with the islands: tuna and Azorean pepper.

Serve with boiled potatoes.
