La Narval "Special Selection" - Bonito del Norte Ventresca in Galician Butter - 110g

La Narval “Special Selection” – Bonito del Norte Ventresca in Galician Butter (110g)

Bonito del Norte (Thunnus alalunga) is widely regarded as the finest tuna species for conservas, valued for its naturally juicy flesh and clean, refined flavour. During its migration along Spain’s northern Atlantic coast, it reaches peak fat content, delivering superior texture and depth.

La Narval selects only the ventresca—the prized belly cut—taken from fish caught one by one using traditional pole-and-line methods. This cut is preserved in Galician butter, reviving an historic preservation technique that enhances richness while allowing the character of the tuna to remain clear and balanced.

Designed for simple presentation, this conserva is best served gently warmed or at room temperature.

Catch Method: Pole & line

About the Producer

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.

Processing is deliberately hands-on and minimal. Fish are hand-cleaned, hand-trimmed, and hand-packed, then preserved using simple, time-tested preparations designed to enhance the character of the seafood rather than dominate it.

Today, Conservas La Narval combines traditional craftsmanship with modern food safety standards, producing conservas defined by clarity, balance, and consistency. Their tins reflect the essence of Galician coastal cuisine—honest, precise, and uncompromising.
