Description
The excellence and quality of our canned tuna is due to the fact that once the fresh tuna is cut up at our facilities, part of it is immediately sent to these cans. Its flavor is enhanced by the covering liquid, which, among its varieties, includes olive oil, sunflower oil, tomato sauce, natural tuna, and low-salt tuna.
The artisanal production of canned tuna in a factory that handles the entire production process involves a careful and traditional approach to ensure the quality and flavor of the final product. This process, the components involved, and the benefits of canned tuna are described below.
Production process
During the production process, we take great care with the raw materials we use in order to offer the highest quality in our final product.
Canned tuna is produced as follows:
- Receipt of the fish
- Cutting (extraction of the parts of the tuna intended for canning)
- Cooking in a salt water solution.
- Maintenance and refrigeration.
- Peeling by hand.
- Packaging using packing machines
- One of the key steps in achieving our unique flavor is the addition of the best olive oils from Andalusia, brine to make the tuna in water, or tomato sauce.
- The cans are then hermetically sealed and sterilized in autoclaves to ensure a completely sterile product.
- At this point, the cans are washed and dried before being boxed and crated.
- The process concludes with the storage of the product for subsequent shipment.
