Portuguese canned tuna with whole fillet pieces – juicy, firm, with only olive oil and salt.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJosé Gourmet tuna fillets in olive oil\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Portuguese tinned fish product: tuna fillets from the Atlantic and Southeast Pacific, preserved in olive oil and salted, 120g tin. No shredded tuna in brine, no spice blends – fillet pieces that you can pull apart with a fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuna fillets in olive oil from José Gourmet\u003c\/strong\u003e are called \"Filetes de Atum em Azeite\" in Portuguese. The difference to standard canned tuna lies in the word fillet: instead of small pieces, the tin contains cohesive fillet pieces. In Portugal, olive oil is the classic preserving liquid for tuna. It keeps the fish juicy and absorbs its flavor. Therefore, the oil in the tin itself is an ingredient and should be served on the plate. Imagine a warm evening on the balcony. On the table, there is a plate of tomatoes, a piece of bread, and an opened tin of tuna that everyone helps themselves to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tuna fillet is juicy and firm, with a texture that can be broken into flakes with a fork. The taste is well-rounded and mild yet savory, carried by the olive oil that softly envelops the fish. The salt enhances the natural flavor; there are no other spices in the tin. This keeps the focus squarely on the tuna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to tuna in water or sunflower oil, the fillet in olive oil feels fuller and juicier. Anyone who only knows tuna as a dry salad topping will notice the difference with the very first bite. For spreads and dips, the creamy \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/jose-gourmet-thunfisch-mousse\"\u003etuna mousse\u003c\/a\u003e is the better choice, as the fillet plays to its strength as a whole piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fillet is best enjoyed on its own. On a plate with tomatoes, olives, and a little onion, accompanied by some good bread, with the oil from the tin drizzled over it. For a salade Niçoise, place it over green beans, potatoes, egg, and olives. On toasted bread with capers and lemon, it makes for a quick snack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLuís Baena, who writes the recipes for José Gourmet, highlights two directions. One is down-to-earth: pasta with tuna and scrambled eggs, which he calls \"Massatovas.\" The other is the Italian classic Vitello tonnato—cold roast veal with a sauce made from tuna, capers, and mayonnaise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor quick pasta, warm up some garlic in the oil from the tin and add cherry tomatoes and capers. Fold the tuna in only at the end in coarse chunks. This keeps it juicy and helps it retain its shape. One tin is enough for two servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mix the fillet with white beans, red onion, parsley, and a splash of lemon. This is a salad that even tastes great the next day at the office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, the tuna comes from the eastern and western Atlantic as well as the Southeast Pacific. José Gourmet is a Portuguese brand owned by the company 100MISTERIOS, Lda. They state that they choose artisanal products and value maintaining the natural integrity of high-quality ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustration on this tin is by Yara Kono. Each variety features an image by a Portuguese artist, and together they form a family of images consisting of around 55 names. Regarding the tuna, Eugénio Roda writes a small fable on their website: the tuna organized a swimming race and are still looking for the finish line to this day. The packaging made from recycled materials is intended to endure as a collector's item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor whom\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tuna fillets in olive oil are for everyone who enjoys eating tuna and wants whole fillet pieces on their plate instead of crumbs.
