Albacore tuna(Thunnus alalunga), known in Spain as Bonito del Norte, is found in all temperate and tropical oceans. The tuna processed here comes from the Bay of Biscay (the "Mar Cantábrico", as it is called in Olasagasti's homeland). The fish therefore belong to the North Atlantic stock of albacore tuna, which experts believe to be healthy and not overfished. Appetizing, creamy white pieces, olive oil and salt go into the jar. The fillets are pleasant to bite into, firm rather than fatty and soft, and have a maritime flavor that is only slightly salty and subtle rather than dominant. They are suitable as a protein-rich topping for salads, they taste good in pasta dishes, with couscous with fresh herbs, in sandwiches and they are suitable as a starter or snack.

Those who love authentic, unadulterated seafood delicacies will find what they are looking for at Olasagasti in the Spanish Basque Country. Located just a stone's throw from the coast of the Bay of Biscay, the company is deeply rooted in the rich Basque fishing tradition - even though it was a Sicilian, Salvatore Orlando, who founded the company at the end of the 19th century. Olasagasti has been preserving fish for generations, with the fish still being processed freshly caught (and not frozen) on site. Each fillet, from the tender Bonito del Norte to the intensely flavorful anchovy, is refined by hand, with the ingredients rigorously limited to the bare essentials. In this way, the authentic taste with its fresh, maritime nuances is preserved in the best possible way - a difference that you will taste. At the same time, Olasagasti demonstrates its deep respect for the product and its origin with this pleasure-oriented approach.
