Description
Arroybe white tuna in olive oil is made with albacore, also known as Bonito del Norte. Prized for its pale colour, fine flavour and smooth texture, it is a useful choice when you want the tuna to be a central part of a dish.
The fish is caught in summer in the Gulf of Biscay using traditional pole-and-line methods, then packed with olive oil and salt. This smaller tin has a net weight of 111g and a drained weight of 73g, making it a convenient size for a light lunch.
How to enjoy
Flake over a tomato and bean salad, serve on toasted bread or add to a jacket potato. For a larger salad or sharing dish, choose our 260g tin of Arroybe white tuna.
Make a small tuna salad with plenty of flavour
Arrange sliced tomatoes on a plate, add a few white beans and finish with flakes of tuna. Spoon over a little olive oil and add parsley or thinly sliced red onion if you like. Keep the tuna in fairly large pieces so its smooth texture remains noticeable, then season the completed salad to taste.
For an open sandwich, toast a slice of bread and top with tomato followed by the tuna. A few chopped olives add contrast without requiring a separate sauce. This approach is useful when you want a quick lunch assembled from a small number of ingredients and would rather enjoy the tuna itself than blend it into a filling.
What do net and drained weight mean?
The 111g net weight includes the tuna and its packing oil; the drained weight is 73g. Use the drained figure when a recipe specifies an amount of fish without the oil. This small format suits lighter dishes, while the 260g Arroybe tin provides a larger option for a sharing salad or pasta meal.
