When we think of the canned tuna we grew up eating, oozy noodle casseroles, mayonnaisey tuna melts and celery-studded salads on iceberg lettuce come to mind. If only we spent our childhoods on the Basque coast of Spain. It's time to update your pantry (and your tuna state-of-mind) with this gorgeous selection of Conservas Ortiz's best line-caught fish, cleaned and packed by hand and preserved in olive oil the same day they're pulled from the Bay of Biscay. Together with a loaf of crusty bread, grassy olive oil, and a bottle of Spanish wine, you'll have a tapas-style tuna spread that your mom won't believe came from a can.

Here's what you get:

  • One 3.95 oz oval tin of Ortiz white tuna in olive oil
  • One 3.88 oz tin of Ortiz ventresca tuna in olive oil
  • One 3.5 oz jar of Ortiz white tuna in olive oil
  • One 3.88 oz tin of Ortiz Reserva de Familia aged tuna
Additional Information

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.

This selection will be ground shipped.

 

Why We Love It

You'll find this fish on the best menus throughout the US and Spain. Barcelona-born Chef Marc Vidal of New York City’s Boqueria restaurants recommends Conservas Ortiz's mild tunas in a lightly dressed salad with potatoes and seasonal vegetables. We love them tossed with caper berries and served on toast as tapas or warmed with olives over pasta.  Sub in any of these tunas for the anchovies in Melissa Clark's crostini recipe with lightly dressed eggs on crusty country bread. Because the selection includes three different types of tuna, you'll be able to sample the surprising range of Spain's best canned fish, from the tender and rich vetresca belly cut to the vintage Reserva de Familia aged tuna.
