Canned Fish

Tonno Sardanelli is a Calabrian producer of canned seafood rooted in a long-standing tradition of tuna fishing and processing. The origins of the family’s involvement in the sector date back to 1817, when members of the Sardanelli family were engaged in tuna fisheries and tonnara operations along the Tyrrhenian coast.

Today, the company operates with modern facilities while maintaining the identity of traditional tuna processors, with a continued emphasis on manual handling and quality control. Production takes place in Calabria, where the fish is processed shortly after arrival to preserve its structural integrity and freshness.

The workflow includes careful cleaning and selection of the meat after cooking, ensuring that the texture and natural appearance of the fillets are retained. The range includes various tuna products such as fillets in olive oil, ventresca, and other cuts, all positioned within the canned seafood category.

The ingredient approach is deliberately simple, typically based on tuna, olive oil, and salt, without the use of additives. The company also highlights sustainability through certifications such as Dolphin Safe and Friend of the Sea, indicating controlled sourcing and responsible fishing practices.

Tonno Sardanelli combines inherited know-how with contemporary production standards, resulting in products that reflect both regional tradition and current market expectations.
