What is Tuna Fillet in Cold-Pressed Olive Oil?

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.
