Bonito Tuna in Escabeche 112g

Silky and light like billowing boat sails; with that unmistakable twang of the Atlantic Ocean. This is the finest white tuna, line caught one at a time in the Bay of Biscay boats, and preserved in a lightly flavoured vinaigrette and that classic oval can. According to Conservas Ortiz, it is possible to create a cellar of this Bonito del Norte that, like fine wine or mature cheese, will improve with age.

So delicious that it doesn’t need anything too elaborate to accompany it. We recommend enjoying this tuna in a salad and using the reserved escabeche to dress it. You can then mop up any leftovers with baguette.

The iconic, primary-coloured packaging of Conservas Ortiz has been seen on the shelves of the world’s finest delicatessens for over a century. Focussing on rod and line caught tuna and anchovies from the northern coast of Spain as their forefathers did, Ortiz’s products should not be thought of as simply ‘tinned fish’, they’re handmade delicacies, fresh from the sea with a deep-rooted history that harks back to an era when flavour was king.
