Mojama Extra Dry Tuna Loin 250g (PGI)
Mojama tuna is a Mediterranean delicacy consisting of a filleted salt-cured tuna. It's made only with the most premium grade tuna loin and caught off the coast of Spain. Each loin is aged in sea salt for about 48 hours, and then left to air dry and cure.
Mojama tuna is considered the "jamón of the sea" due to its rich and complex flavors, and exclusive presence in Spain and the global market. Truly, an out of this world flavor profile.
This tuna is classified as "Mojama de Isla Cristina," a label that endorses and controls production to guarantee the careful processing of specially selected tuna.
This grade of mojama is "extra" because it comes from the most prize part of the tuna muscle, giving it a softer texture and less marked marbling.

Recommended Pairings
We love to beautifully prepare thin slices of Mojama on a plate and garnish each piece with a high quality extra virgin olive oil. This softens the texture. It's also delicious alongside marcona almonds. Before eating, make sure to remove from refrigeration for at least 15 minutes.
Mojama tuna should be stored in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. While it can be stored at room temperature, if you live in a hot place it's best to keep it in the fridge. If opened and you have more remaining, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge.
