Drumroll, please… There’s a new star in the specialty food hall of fame: just a few months after debuting in the US, Testa Bluefin Tuna has been named the best tonno sott’olio in all the land (and sea!)
The Specialty Food Association (aka the fine people who organize the Fancy Food Show) holds a yearly competition to award the best food on the market. That’s the Oscar of the food world! And the Oscar goes to Bluefin Tuna fished by the Testa family and by them hand-filleted, hand-jarred, and preserved in organic Sicilian extra virgin olive oil
To cherish and enjoy this extraordinary gem of the Mediterranean, eat it straight out of the jar with a drizzle of lemon, a sprinkle of salt flower, and a piece of toasted bread. You could add ripe tomatoes, a caper leaf, sliced onions, an olive or two; but seriously, try Testa Bluefin Tuna on its own for your first bite. You might discover that you had no idea what the real flavor of canned tuna should be.
FROM SEA TO JAR AT ITS BEST 
The Testa fam has an almost religious respect for bluefin tuna, the king of the Mar Mediterraneo. Following Sicilian traditions, they use each and every single part of the fish for different recipes and conserve. Testa Bluefin Tuna comes in Fillets (muscles), Buzzonaglia (central spine), Ventresca (underbelly), and Bottarga (dried eggs). Here’s our 101 guide on how to choose the perfect tuna cut for salads, sandwiches, tuna pasta, tuna + white beans, or even tuna polpette.
