Unreal....it's otoro, after all
The only downside to this is that it's $50+...if it's in stock. Now that the bad part is out of the way, on to why this stuff is $50+: the fattest part of Mediterranean bluefin tuna (the ventresca is otoro, or what would be called "fatty tuna" at a sushi restaurant, and the tarantello is the chutoro or "medium fatty tuna") is steamed and canned in extra virgin olive oil...

This fish is endangered and should not be purchased and eaten.
It is very risky to eat this fish as it is an endangered species. There are other types of fish which are better to eat, and can help this fish species recover in numbers. We really don't want this fish to become extinct, as it is delicious and deserves a chance to survive. Please help by eating albacore, yellowfin or ahi, or other types of fish altogether.

This review is from: Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna Ventresca in Olive Oil by Tre Torri, Sicilia (Misc.)
The only downside to this is that it's $50+...if it's in stock. Now that the bad part is out of the way, on to why this stuff is $50+: the fattest part of Mediterranean bluefin tuna (the ventresca is otoro, or what would be called "fatty tuna" at a sushi restaurant, and the tarantello is the chutoro or "medium fatty tuna") is steamed and canned in extra virgin olive oil. Sushi-grade tuna that has been mildly cooked and canned (shelf life is about 5 years) that exchanges some of the flavor of raw toro with the flavor of premium extra virgin olive oil.
I found out about Tre Torri Ventresca reading reviews of canned tuna, and this one is nearly unanimously placed as #1 in a category all its own. It's way too rich and tender to use on a sandwich; it's great out of the can on water crackers where its texture and tuna/olive oil flavors that melt together on the tongue really shine.

The best....,
This review is from: Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna Ventresca in Olive Oil by Tre Torri, Sicilia (Misc.)
As I traveled through Italy this was my road side snack to ward of low blood sugar. I'd put a little right out of the can on a piece of baguette top it with a thin slice of pear and a thin slice of parmesan cheese and it was INCREDIBLE... I've since talked about it to my friends & Family and have craved it for years...I'm finally breaking down and buying it via the internet to get my fix. It doesn't even compare to US tuna out of the can with olive oil. ENJOY!

Check with the IUCN Red list to see if the fish you enjoy are sustainable and not endangered. Thanks!
