It's time to reconsider canned tuna. Prized for its medium-flake, exquisitely flavorful white meat, Conservas Ortiz's albacore tuna is line-caught, one fish at a time, along Spain's northwestern coast during the peak of summer, then filleted by hand and matured for a minimum of six months.

Here's what you get:

  • Four 3.95 oz tins of white tuna in olive oil

Conservas Ortiz Spain

For five generations, Conservas Ortiz, established in 1891 in Spain’s Basque country, has been one of Iberia’s (and, more recently, the world’s) most beloved purveyors of artisanally preserved seafood from the nearby Bay of Biscay.

Star of the Show

For those of us who grew up on thin, water-packed tuna, the first encounter with meaty, olive oil–saturated albacore is almost shocking. Unlike your grandma’s chicken of the sea, which was usually mixed into a casserole along with canned soup and noodles or drowned within an inch of its life in mayonnaise, Conservas Ortiz's tuna isn’t just another ingredient; it’s the main event. Allow it to take center stage by flaking lightly and serving in a classic salade niçoise or pan bagnat, or blend into a chunky dip with fried onions, peppers, garlic, tomato puree, and a dash of Sherry vinegar.
