Alalunga tuna in oil

Longfin tuna is a species of fish very similar to that of bluefin tuna from which, however, it differs in some anatomical characteristics but above all in its smaller size; in fact, this fish can reach about one meter in length and 25 kg in weight even if the dimensions are generally smaller by about half. Its meat is preferred by many over that of bluefin tuna because it is decidedly leaner because it is less rich in fat. Discover all the best products in oil created using only the best longfin tuna.

ALALUNGA TUNA, A TREAT FOR THE PALATE

Longfin tuna is widespread in the Mediterranean Sea and in the warm waters of all oceans. In the Italian seas it is common, but only in certain locations that vary from year to year even if its presence consists mainly in the waters around the Aeolian Islands and more generally in those that bathe the coasts of Sicily and Ionian Calabria. The meat of longfin tuna is rosy and firm and has a truly extraordinary, particularly delicate taste. Its name derives from its anatomical feature as its pectoral fin is much longer than that of other tuna species.

In the kitchen, it is a very versatile fish and is suitable for numerous preparations, both for canning and for immediate consumption. It is, like bluefin tuna, a species whose meat represents a highly sought after valuable product. The price, for a number of reasons mainly related to availability and size, appears to be lower than bluefin tuna but this should not fool us: albacore tuna is truly extraordinary because thanks to its texture and its characteristic flavor it has allowed the best Italian artisanal producers to create truly unique products, real delights for the palate!

Stretch tuna in oil will surely surprise you in all its simplicity, since all our products are created by selecting only the best fresh fish, which then undergoes careful and careful processing: longfin tuna is cooked in brine, stripped of skin and bones, cut and placed in glass containers with extra virgin olive oil and then, thanks to us at Spaghetti & Mandolino, directly on your table.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES OF ALALUNGA TUNA

The meat of longfin tuna is low in fat and 100 grams of tuna contain about 21% protein and about 8% fat, half of which are Omega-3, or polyunsaturated fats that help reduce levels of “bad” cholesterol in the blood. Albacore tuna is also an excellent source of vitamin A, niacin or vitamin B3, and mineral salts, in particular selenium, phosphorus and magnesium, but also iron and calcium. All these characteristics make this fish a perfect food to include in a healthy and balanced diet because it is, in the final analysis, excellent from a nutritional standpoint.

Therefore, in addition to being extraordinarily good, long tuna is also healthy!
