This tuna in EVOO is a real treat - you'll have no problem eating it right out of the can! Keep a can in your desk at work with some saltines for a satisfying, fast lunch. Another thing, no one in the office will object to the SMELL because there ISN'T any! (Even the empty tin in the trash does not smell.) The tuna is juicy and delicious, better than any you've ever had. Recommended!

Unless you're a health nut, tuna in olive oil is almost always preferable to that in water. And Genova is the best of the normally priced ones. (there are some super-expensive imported brands in a jar, but they cost as much as fresh tuna) For a quick meal, I like to open a can over a salad mix, complete with the oil, then add some fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper and that's it! A quick, delicious healthy meal.

i have been enjoying genova tuna for more than 40 years! as stores cut back on stock they have chosen to eliminate the small can ( perfect for lunch )of this tuna and only sell the large one.in searching for the small can i found it at a great price and available in a 24 count box at amazon.com .the service was fast and the shipping rate was hard to beat. without a doubt i will be purchasing another case of this great tuna ,from amazon .com

This really is the best tuna on the market, hard to find tuna like this in stores and really hard to find tuna in olive oil. Great for sandwiches and salads but really hard to beat the quality and comparing to the specialty store in my area that sells at twice the price this is a value. Much better than the Progresso brand we bought a few months ago, just more consistent.

I bought this product three times. The first two times I got the "made in Italy" version, and it was among the best canned tuna I had ever had (truly Italian standards - I'm from there and I know what I'm talking about). The last batch I got was the "made in Thailand" version (even though at the time the Amazon description still said "made in Italy") and it was just above mediocre. Pretty tasteless actually, and NOTHING compared to the Italian version. Same price though, which made me feel I had just been ripped off (and scammed, since the Amazon description had not been changed by then). NO MORE!

As an Italian living in the US, I find the tuna that is available in the typical supermarket tasteless. I started looking for an affordable alternative to the expensive imported brands and I came across this one. Tonno Genova is preserved in olive oil like in the mediterranean regions of Europe, and I got a 24-pack for $25.

Bottom line is: this is not the best that you can get, but it's definitely the best for the price.

Me and my husband love this and I must admit I am frugal and try to get the cheap stuff still but he refuses to eat it. This is so much better than the tidbit leftovers sold in regular grocery stores.

We love this tuna! A while back our store revamped itself and stopped carrying Genova. We asked them if they would bring it back, but so far it hasn't happened. So when we found we could order it through Amazon.com we jumped at the opportunity. Thank you. Now we're going to order another case so we won't run out. Life is Good

I've been ordering this for years. The first shipments were amazing. The most wonderful taste and moist and flavorful. The first order I think was in the low $20's for 24 cans. Now it's almost double. The last shipment was dry and hard and not at all the same as the wonderful tuna I used to get. I won't order this again as it's not the same product it once was. I just looked at the can and it said Thailand too. No thanks!

I have been buying Genova Tonno Solid Light Tuna In Olive Oil (5 ounce) for years it was always good and dependable with the exception of an occasional can being somewhat saltier but still good. In the last six months(July-Dec 2010) the quality has declined significantly. I thought that perhaps I bought a bad can or so and I foolishly continued to buy Genova Tonno hoping that possibly it was just a change in processing or suppliers and that I could once again buy Genova with the confidence that it was a quality tuna. The best by dates on the cans is 2014.The Genova Tonno of the last six months can only be described as dry and tasteless.I will NOT be buying Genova Tonno it has gone from what I considered the best tuna to the absolute worst tuna.
