The silver-colored tin, the subtle resistance when opening it, the dark red color of a good Bonito del Norte in olive oil. Canned tuna is no compromise – done right, it can become the star of the plate.
Porthos – Portugal
Porthos is one of Portugal's oldest tuna manufacturers. Atlantic tuna, hand-packed, preserved in olive oil, with that deep red hue that immediately signals quality.
Olasagasti and Conservas Ortiz – Bonito del Norte
From the Basque Country come Olasagasti and Conservas Ortiz with their Bonito del Norte jars. Ventresca – the belly – is tender, fatty, full of aroma. A piece that actually needs no further recipe.
Good canned tuna is a complete meal as soon as bread is added.
