Our Tuna Process
Makes All The Difference
At Tonnino, our tuna tells a story of dedication, care, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Our processing methods are more than a series of steps—they’re an elegantly crafted journey that reflects our promise to deliver premium quality while preserving the planet.
From Ocean to Jar: Our Comprehensive Tuna Processing Journey
Crafting a gourmet tuna experience begins far from your plate. It starts in the open waters, where only the finest yellowfin and albacore tuna are selected. Each catch is handled with respect, processed with precision, and elevated through techniques that retain flavor, texture, and integrity.
From ethical sourcing to artisanal hand-packing, our process ensures that each fillet delivers not only exceptional taste but also a commitment to sustainability and safety you can trust.
Cooked on the Bone Elevating Taste Through Tradition
We honor traditional culinary techniques to bring you tuna with unparalleled flavor. By cooking our tuna on the bone, we preserve the natural juices and enhance the richness of each fillet. This method not only locks in moisture but also intensifies the savory depth that distinguishes our product.
Unlike conventional methods that sacrifice flavor for speed, our unique and exclusive cooking process respects the fish’s natural structure and is customized based on the fish species. This results in a tender, delicious experience worthy of your refined palate.
Mercury Tested for Safety and Confidence
Your health and peace of mind matter. Tonnino tuna undergoes rigorous mercury testing in laboratories renowned for their precision and compliance with international safety standards.
We test to ensure levels are well below accepted FDA thresholds, offering a product that’s as safe as it is delicious. It’s an extra step that reflects our deep commitment to transparency, quality, and your well-being.
Frozen at Sea Preserving Ocean Freshness
Freshness begins at the moment of catch. That’s why our tuna is frozen just once: on the ship, right after it’s caught. This allows us to capture the pristine quality of the ocean.
Our single-freeze process avoids the common deterioration caused by multiple freeze-thaw cycles, protecting both flavor and texture. When you open a Tonnino product, you’re tasting tuna as nature intended: clean and full of character.
Hand-Packed in Glass Jars A Gourmet Presentation
Presentation is a part of the experience. Each Tonnino fillet is gently hand-cut and packed into elegant glass jars—not only for visual appeal but also to preserve quality and reduce environmental impact.
Glass offers a sustainable alternative to cans, allowing you to see the integrity of each fillet. The artisanal care that goes into our hand-packing ensures that every jar reflects the sophistication, flavor, and transparency you expect from a gourmet brand.
Sustainable Tuna Fishing: Our Ethical Sourcing Practices
At Tonnino, sustainability is a deeply rooted responsibility.
Our sourcing methods are designed to protect marine biodiversity, support traditional fishing communities, and ensure long-term viability of tuna populations.
Recognized for Responsibility: Blue Flag & Dolphin Safe
Tonto’s efforts have earned us the Ecological Blue Flag Award, a distinction reserved for organizations demonstrating exceptional environmental stewardship. Additionally, we proudly adhere to the Dolphin Safe Certification, which ensures our methods cause no harm to marine mammals.
These honors confirm what our products already tell you: we are committed to ethical, responsible seafood from sea to jar.
Commitment to Sustainability: Beyond Tuna Processing
Our sustainability efforts extend well beyond the water. Within our processing facilities, we implement energy-efficient systems that reduce emissions and conserve resources. Waste reduction is a guiding principle—from the responsible sourcing of raw materials to minimizing excess during production. We also prioritize environmentally friendly packaging materials, including recyclable glass jars. Every step in our supply chain is designed to reflect a commitment to ethical practices and continuous improvement, ensuring that the integrity of our product is matched by the responsibility of our process.
Traceability: Know Your Tuna’s Journey
We believe great seafood should come with complete transparency. With our “Trace Your Tuna” tool, you can discover exactly where, when, and in which area your tuna was caught, and even see the vessel’s flag. This is a simple way to connect you more closely to the ocean and the people behind every catch.
