Where do the fish in Armatore's 4ROTTE line come from?

All fish come exclusively from the Mediterranean Sea, FAO zone 37, caught according to the seasons and marine biodiversity.

How are the canned fish processed?

The fillets are selected and processed individually by hand, delicately steamed or boiled, then preserved in olive oil or plain.

What's the difference between the various species (mackerel, bonito, little tuna, amberjack, frigate mackerel, swordfish)?

Each species has a different flavor, texture, and lipid content. Mackerel is more bold, amberjack more delicate, bonito intense, albacore elegant, swordfish meaty, frigate mackerel more rustic, and little tuna balanced. The belly, on the other hand, is the most prized and tender.

What's the difference between the product in oil and the natural one?

The fillets in oil are more flavorful and preserved in pure olive oil. The natural ones maintain a lighter flavor and are ideal for those following a low-fat diet.

What type of oil does ARMATORE use?

We use exclusively high-quality olive oil, which enhances the flavor of the fish without overpowering it.

How are these fillets used in cooking?

They are ready to use: ideal for salads, pasta, gourmet sandwiches, appetizers, or as a main course. Fast and healthy.

Do ARMATORE products contain preservatives?

No. All our products are free of preservatives and chemical additives. They contain only fish, salt (if applicable), and olive oil or water.

How long do the products last once opened?

After opening, it's best to store them in the refrigerator, well covered with their own oil or liquid, and consume them within 3–4 days.
