Olasagasti - Yellow Tuna in olive oil TFM

Get to know: Olasagasti Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil 112g

Tasting Note

This is tuna at its most elegant and understated. Olasagasti’s yellowfin tuna is hand-prepared using traditional methods that gently preserve the fish’s naturally delicate flavour and velvety texture. The tuna is pale, tender and beautifully clean-tasting, with the olive oil adding softness and roundness rather than richness. It’s notably low in salt, allowing the quality of the fish to take centre stage, with a smooth, almost silky mouthfeel that feels calm, balanced and refined.

Perfect for simple lunches and light dishes where you want the tuna to do the talking rather than compete with heavy seasoning.

Enjoy this with warm new potatoes and green beans, folded through a simple salad with lemon and herbs, or served on good bread with tomatoes and a drizzle of the oil from the tin.

Try pairing this with:

• Felines Jourdan, Picpoul de Pinet – crisp, saline citrus and bright acidity make this classic French white a brilliant match for delicate tuna and olive oil
• Quinta da Raza, Alvarinho Trajadura – a lively Portuguese white with zesty fruit and fresh minerality that echoes the light texture of yellowfin
• Baby del Rey, Cotes Catalanes White – easy-drinking, fresh and fruity with a soft, aromatic profile that won’t overpower the fish

Kate Says

"This is the tin I reach for when I want something calm and quietly luxurious. No fuss, no heaviness – just beautifully handled tuna that lets simple ingredients shine."
