La Narval Special Selection – Bonito del Norte Ventresca in Galician Butter (110g)
Bonito del Norte (Thunnus alalunga) is considered the pinnacle of tuna for conservas, prized for its naturally succulent texture and clean, elegant flavour. As it migrates along Spain’s northern Atlantic waters, the fish reaches peak fat content, giving the meat exceptional richness and depth.
La Narval focuses exclusively on the ventresca, the coveted belly cut, sourced from tuna caught individually using traditional pole‑and‑line methods. The fillets are preserved in Galician butter, a revival of an old regional technique that amplifies the tuna’s luxurious texture while keeping its flavour bright and balanced.
This conserva is crafted for minimal preparation and shines when served gently warmed or at room temperature.
Catch Method: Pole & line
Conservas La Narval is a Galician conservera based in the Ría de Arousa, one of Europe’s most respected fishing estuaries. The company operates with a clear purpose: to preserve the traditional Galician approach to seafood conservation through precision, restraint, and respect for raw material.
La Narval works with locally landed fish and shellfish, sourced seasonally from small coastal boats operating under regulated quotas. Only seafood at optimal maturity is selected, prioritising texture, natural fat content, and flavour over volume or yield.
