Santa Catarina Gourmet Tuna Fillets with Ginger 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 ginger. While ginger is not a traditional ingredient in Portuguese conservas, its use here reflects Santa Catarina's willingness to explore new flavor combinations while maintaining the same attention to sourcing and production.
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.
Santa Catarina's flavored tuna range offers a variety of interpretations built on the same foundation of high-quality Azorean tuna. This version pairs the fish with ginger, creating one of the more distinctive offerings in the lineup.
Serve with steamed rice.
