Arroybe White Tuna in Olive Oil 260g
£8.50
Description
This larger tin of Arroybe white tuna is a good choice for generous salads, pasta dishes and food to share. Made with albacore, also called Bonito del Norte, it has a pale colour, delicate flavour and smooth texture that are worth keeping at the centre of the meal.
The tuna is caught in summer in the Gulf of Biscay by pole and line and packed in olive oil with salt. Each tin contains 260g net weight and 190g drained weight, giving you more fish to work with than the smaller format.
How to enjoy
Build a salad with tomatoes, white beans, olives and fresh herbs, or fold through warm pasta just before serving. Add bread and our mixed olives with herbs for a straightforward sharing lunch.
Make a generous tuna and bean salad
Combine cooked white beans with sliced tomatoes, red onion and parsley, then arrange the tuna over the top. Dress the vegetables first and fold in the fish gently if you want to keep larger flakes. Add olives and bread at the table to make a meal that is easy for everyone to serve themselves.
For a warm alternative, toss cooked pasta with tomatoes and a little olive oil, then add the tuna near the end. Gentle folding helps retain its texture. You could also layer it into a bread roll with roasted peppers and leaves, keeping the filling simple enough for the albacore flavour to remain central.
Choosing the right tin for your recipe
This tin contains 260g net weight, including its oil, and 190g drained weight. Check whether your recipe calls for drained fish when deciding how much you need.

Frequently asked questions
What is the drained weight of the larger Arroybe tuna tin?
The larger Arroybe tin contains 190g drained white tuna, with a total net weight of 260g including the olive oil. Check which measurement your recipe uses when planning a salad, pasta dish or sandwich filling.
Is the large tin made with the same tuna species as the smaller one?
Yes. Both Arroybe sizes contain albacore white tuna, also called Bonito del Norte, packed with olive oil and salt. The difference between these listings is the format and amount of tuna supplied.
How should I add Arroybe white tuna to warm pasta?
Prepare the pasta and sauce first, then gently fold in the tuna near serving time. Using a light movement helps retain larger flakes, letting the albacore texture remain part of the finished dish.
What belongs in a sharing salad with the 260g tuna tin?
Combine cooked white beans, sliced tomatoes, red onion and parsley, then arrange the tuna over the salad. Add mixed herb olives and bread at the table for a deli-style meal that people can serve themselves.
Why choose white tuna when the fish is central to the meal?
Arroybe albacore is described as having a fine, delicate flavour and smooth texture. A simple salad or open sandwich allows those qualities to remain noticeable, especially when you keep the tuna in larger flakes rather than mixing it into a strong sauce.
