Yes. Tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil is a ready-to-eat canned product, so you can eat it straight from the can. Add it to a meal as it is, or warm it gently if you prefer it hot.
Tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil is packed in oil, while tuna in water is packed in water. The olive-oil version tastes richer and can add moisture to a dish, so you may not need as much extra dressing or cooking oil.
No, draining is optional. Keep the oil if you want to use it in a salad dressing or toss it with pasta; drain the fillet if you want a less oily dish or need to control how much oil goes into a recipe.
Move leftover tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil to a covered container and refrigerate it promptly. Use it soon after opening, and avoid storing the leftovers in the opened can, where the fish is less well protected.
“Cold-pressed” describes how the olive oil is produced, not how the tuna is prepared. Tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil is a canned product and is generally cooked before it is packed.
Yes, you can add tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil to cooked dishes, but it does not need further cooking to be safe to eat. Stir it in near the end of cooking so the fillet stays moist instead of becoming dry.
Yes. Tuna can contain mercury, and levels vary with the species and size of the fish. If you eat tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil regularly, vary your seafood choices; during pregnancy, ask your clinician about suitable tuna portions.
Yes. Add tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil to pasta, grain bowls, or salads. Its larger fillet pieces hold their shape well when gently folded in, and the packing oil can also season the dish.
Usually not. Keep unopened tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, unless its packaging gives different storage instructions. Discard a can that is swollen, leaking, or badly damaged.
Tuna fillet in cold-pressed olive oil comes in larger, more intact pieces, while flaked canned tuna has been broken into smaller pieces. The fillet format is useful when you want distinct pieces for a salad or plated dish.

Tuna Fillet in Cold-Pressed Olive Oil is a packaged tuna product made with substantial pieces of tuna preserved in olive oil. The fillet cuts stay fuller and more layered than finely flaked tuna, while the oil adds a rounded, savoury note.
It is handy for salads, sandwiches and pasta, or served as part of a small sharing plate with bread, lemon and vegetables. The flavour is mild and savoury, and the texture is tender but meaty. It provides protein along with monounsaturated fat from the olive oil. For a lighter meal, drain some of the oil and pair the tuna with plenty of fresh vegetables; a little of the oil can also dress the salad.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
