Bluefin tuna is undoubtedly the most prized and sought-after of the many tuna species. Entirely hand-processed within hours of being caught, Armatore's glass-packed bluefin tuna fillets have a savory and bold flavor.

Mediterranean bluefin tuna boasts numerous benefits: thanks to a diet based primarily on other bluefish, it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, which are crucial for reducing bad cholesterol. It is also rich in thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, and retinol, all water- and fat-soluble vitamins. Finally, another important benefit is bluefin tuna's high iron content, making it an essential part of a balanced diet.
