The caught tuna is transferred to our production plant on the same day where it will be cut and left in iced water to promote bleeding and the closure of the fibers, at the end of this process it is transferred to large perforated steel baskets that will facilitate steam cooking, once cooked the slices are transferred to special ventilated cells that allow the perfect drying of the fish.

Once the first crucial steps are completed, the cooked fish is ready to be transferred to the storage department where the expert hands of our workers transform the large slices into perfect fillets and place them in jars of different weights; finally, an extra virgin olive oil from the Belice Valley cultivar is poured into the jars, which marries perfectly with our tuna, as this very special cold-pressed oil from the quality of Nocellara and Biancolilla olives has a very low acidity and does not affect the natural taste of the highly prized red tuna in the slightest. At the end of this process, the jar is closed and sterilized in an autoclave. After cooling, it will be stored in our warehouses to enjoy a well-deserved rest of about a year, a period of maturation in which the tuna will mature in the oil and will be ready to arrive on the most demanding tables.
