Seafood
Coastal waters, lakes and streams provide a variety of seafood, such as tuna, salmon, crab, shrimp and so forth, that can be enjoyed throughout the year in elegant glass jars or safe cans. Lemon juice, vinegar, salt, olive oil and just simple water are the ideal ingredients to preserve and maintain quality of canned seafood. Canned seafood can be used in a variety of healthy, delicious ways; either as a main dish and as a special addition to already existing menu options. Purchasing canned allows you to maintain a longer shelf-life on seafood, produces less waste and it can eliminate cooking time and safety concerns. Italian canned tuna is a favorite of chefs worldwide - great canned tuna is, without question, a great eating experience.
Made in Italy by Callipo, this Ventresca (tuna belly) from Yellowfin tuna is hand cut into fillets then packed by hand in 4.4 oz. easy-open cans. Ventresca tuna is sometimes referred to as "the foie gras of the tuna fish" as it is the richest, smoothest tuna you will ever find. Hours after their catch, each tuna is hand processed, cooked in fresh ocean water and packed in pure 100% virgin olive oil so that it retains its unique and smooth texture and rich flavor. No cooking or other preparation is needed, you can use Ventresca tuna right out of the can to make delicious tuna salad and tuna sandwiches! $13.50 |
