🐟 Tuna Heart

Tuna specialties

Tuna Heart is a rare and little-known specialty, considered one of the most authentic products of the ancient tuna fishing tradition. It is obtained from selected tuna innards , processed according to a time-honored artisanal process that is increasingly difficult to find today.

The process is similar to bottarga: the heart is salted, delicately pressed, and left to mature , then slowly dried. After about 20 days , the product reaches its ideal consistency, maintaining its distinctive intense and deep character.

Production is limited and seasonal , which is why the Tuna Heart is considered a true gastronomic rarity , appreciated above all by connoisseurs and lovers of strong flavours.
