Tuna belly in olive oil

Tuna Belly in Olive Oil is the most delicate and valuable part of the tuna, it covers the sides and abdominal cavities of the tuna. After the boiling phase and a 12-hour rest, it is canned and seasoned with olive oil. It is soft and delicate on the palate as well as being tastier.

Tuna belly is widely used in the kitchen, for many tasty and refined recipes! If you have never tasted it, we recommend that you first taste the fresh product, so as to fully appreciate its taste and tender consistency.
But tuna belly is also perfect to use as an ingredient to season excellent pasta first courses, flans and rice cakes.

The Adelfio company, producer of our Tuna Belly in Olive Oil , has always placed tradition and quality before marketing policies. Fishing was the only way of life, and the product was always processed only in accordance with tradition. Very rare values, which however have allowed Adelfio's products to maintain their original authenticity. Tuna and its derivatives are sold according to classic forms, handed down over the centuries by the maritime culture, made of simple and authentic things.

Ventresca Benefits:

Let's now see what the properties of Tuna Belly are , from a purely nutritional point of view. As we have just seen, the belly is a part of the tuna rich in fat, but it is mostly the so-called "good fats" , i.e. those fats that are part of the Omega 3 category . They are substances that help reduce the oxidation of cells (in simple words, they help the body stay younger and more active) and prevent the onset of cardiovascular diseases.
In addition to these fatty acids, ventresca also provides many proteins, mineral salts ( potassium and iron ) and vitamins .

Curiosities about the Ventresca:

Bluefin tuna lives far from the coasts and approaches them only in the summer period (or when temperatures begin to rise). This species is found mainly in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Black Sea. Italy is the third largest producer of bluefin tuna in the world, while Japan is in first place in the "ranking" of importing countries: and this is not surprising not at all, given the importance that a fine variety of fish like this has in Japanese cuisine (as we saw earlier when talking about sashimi).
