Northern bonito, healthy and delicious

Now that we are in the midst of the “Costera del Bonito” (Bonito Coast), what better way to talk about the properties of this white tuna caught in the Cantabrian Sea? It is one of the healthiest and most prized blue fishes due to its numerous benefits.

What is Northern Bonito?

The Bonito del Norte belongs to the tuna family and is one of the highest quality varieties due to its exquisite flavour and its texture, which is much softer than the rest of its species. During spring, the Bonito del Norte moves towards the Cantabrian Sea area and it is there that it is caught using the traditional art of rod and hook.

Fresh preparation

At Pujadó Solano we process Bonito del Norte fresh so that the product has an exceptional texture and colour. We collect the fish at the Santoña fish market early in the morning so that it reaches our factory in the best condition.

Once at the factory, we classify the Bonito according to its size and prepare it for cooking after having removed the entrails and carefully washed it by hand. After several hours of cooking, we obtain the ideal texture and let it cool to room temperature so that we can then cut the fillets into pieces to select the best parts.

We package the Bonito del Norte in such a way that it maintains its specific properties. To do this, we handle it carefully and cover it in olive oil to preserve its unique texture and flavour.
