Florio tuna belly

Florio tuna belly – The finest cut of tuna

In olive oil, aged for at least 3 months

Made from the finest part of the tuna, Florio tuna belly is gently cooked in sea water, then divided into fillets by hand by master craftsmen. The minimum ageing period of three months in extra virgin olive oil and sea salt enhances its organoleptic properties, giving it an aromatic bouquet rich in nuances of iodine and vegetal notes. Each 125 g tin contains compact and juicy fillets, perfect for enhancing any recipe with their deep and enveloping flavour.

Nino Castiglione

Florio is a brand that evokes the splendid Sicily of the Belle Époque and the family that revolutionised the island’s economy and culture. The Florios transformed the Favignana tuna fishery into a modern canning industry and introduced tin canning. Nino Castiglione, founder of the company that bears his name, worked as a labourer at the Florio factory in Favignana and returned there in the 1980s to manage tuna fishing and processing. Today, the heirs of the Castiglione family, a symbol of canned tuna in Italy, have revived Florio tuna, producing a product of the highest quality, made according to ancient tradition. With Florio tuna belly, you will bring a true treasure of Sicilian gastronomy to your table.
