Bonito del Norte is Spain's celebrated white tuna. Ortiz adds a pinch of mild Espelette pepper to this flavorful, yet delicate and mild tuna. Serve with bread and piquillo peppers, flaked onto a salad, or added to your favorite recipe.
Bonito del Norte tuna is line-caught by hand, preserving the texture of the fish. This breed of Bonito del Norte tuna is a small, plump tuna that travels to the cool seas north of Spain to feast on anchovies. It is mild and flaky with a silky texture, truly a different level of quality from other tunas.
Espelette peppers originated in the Basque Country and are used on both sides of the French-Spanish border to flavor seafood and traditional foods. Recently it has gained popularity across the world. This dried red pepper is very mild and has a slightly sweet flavor.
Ortiz is a family-owned company in the coastal village of Ondorroa in the Basque Country. Since 1920, they produce top-quality preserved seafood, all packed by hand in their facilities.
