Description | Bonito del Norte white tuna in olive oil |
---|---|
Appearance | Whole slices of tuna, white in colour with pink shades without crumbles |
Taste | Pleasantly salty and crispy; the balanced fat content allows the muscle bands to separate easily remaining distinct from each other; the presence of olive oil does not alter the taste |

The producer
Yurrita e Hijos - Mutriku - Spain
Why we chose them
Yurrita and Hijos is a company founded in 1867 by the Yurrita family, which for 5 generations produces Cantabrian Anchovies. Yurrita is in the
Basque Country, in Mutriku, that is a small fishing village overlooking the Cantabrian Sea, about an hour's drive from San Sebastian. When we
visited the company we hit the link with tradition and attention to quality in every process of the production chain: from the purchase of anchovies
in
nearby marinas to manic cleaning the fish, from the long aging of the product in salt packaging manual. Every single anchovy fillet is cleaned and
packaged manually by a group of only women, "why only women are capable of doing this painstaking work - confessed Juan Yurrita during the
visit - while men are dedicated to offshore fishing". Recently the Yurrita family also acquired a processing facility of "Bonito del Norte", the famous
albacore tuna caught in Cantabrico. The tuna is caught on the hook and the fishing trip was a real ceremony in the offshore, which lasts about a
week or even more
