This tuna is a solid piece packed in olive oil. It is rich and mellow in flavor; would be great in a salade nicoise, and it's wonderful straight out of the can. Ingredients listed are tuna, olive oil, and salt. The label indicates 1.5 servings per can at 160 calories, 11g fat, 370mg sodium, 14g protein and 0 carbs, fiber, and sugar per serving. It's a simple matter to drain the oil away since it's a solid piece of tuna. It's a product of Portugal, distributed by Italy. This is the best mail-order price I've found anywhere; you can easily pay double for it from other purveyors. Very highly recommended.

I am a huge tuna fan, eating it at least three times a week. I used to eat more, before the government warnings on mercury.

This is the best. It is pricey, but worth it if you want to splurge on that special tuna salad, tuna sandwich, or anything else that really emphasizes the taste of the tuna.

Sometimes I just eat it straight right out of the can.

This is good tuna, similar to Cento or Progresso, but not approaching the tuna greatness of gourmet brands such as Ortiz. It's good, but it's not great. For me, the quality does not justify the higher price and shipping costs (from a non-Amazon vendor) compared to equivalent brands.

This canned tuna is wonderful. I haven't bought canned tuna packed in oil of any kind in years. I was recently in Molinari's Deli in S.F. and the owner tossed me a can of this stuff and said I'd like it. He was wrong, I love it. It's rich and smooth and not "tinny" at all. If drained well, there is very little olive oil on the tuna, and what there is, is high quality. It's splendid on Salad Nicoise or just plain with a little lemon juice, salt, and fresh ground pepper. I've given it as gifts, and it has been recieved very well.
