Filetti Ventresca di Tonno all’Olio di Oliva is a premium product that uses ventresca, the softest and fattiest part of the tuna, known for its delicate texture and full, rounded flavor. The ventresca comes from Yellowfin tuna and is processed by hand, in accordance with the long tradition of the Callipo family company, which has been producing canned fish in Calabria since 1913.
The pieces of ventresca are cut into larger fillets to preserve the natural structure of the meat, then carefully arranged in the tin and covered with olive oil. The ingredient list is extremely simple - tuna, olive oil, and salt - allowing the natural flavor of the fish to stand out without added aromas.
The texture is exceptionally soft, almost buttery, with fibers that separate easily, while the taste remains full, mild, and well balanced, without excessive salinity. Due to its elegance and purity of flavor, this product is typically served without cooking, as an antipasto with bread or as part of simple cold dishes.
The Riserva Oro line represents the highest tier of Callipo products and is intended for consumers seeking an authentic, hand-processed specialty in the premium canned tuna segment.
