HERPAC Bluefin Tuna Tarantelo
HERPAC’s Tarantelo de Atún Rojo is a unique and highly sought-after cut from the Bluefin tuna, positioned between the belly and the loin. It offers the perfect balance -- more marbling than lomo, yet firmer than ventresca. Caught using the traditional almadraba method and hand-tinned in Barbate, the capital of Red Tuna production, this cut brings complex texture and nuanced flavor to the plate.
Tarantelo is rarely seen outside the regions where tuna is reverently harvested and expertly prepared. These tins offer a direct taste of the sea and its most prized catch -- seasonal, scarce, and unforgettable.
- Size: 120g
