Tonnino uses Taste and Sourcing Location App to Refine the World of Gourmet Tuna

Tuna is a great and tasty food, but if you eat it often there are important things to know. For example, does it contain mercury, is it dolphin safe, and is it sustainably harvested?

Tonnino tuna is all of the above. It is safe on all counts, and it is delicious. Packaged in sleek glass bottles in olive oil, with labels that excitedly describe the contents, this brand takes canned tuna to a gourmet level.

Tonnino comes in various flavor combinations, such as oregano, black pepper, or lemon, as well as from different parts of the tuna. For example, the “Ventresca” comes from the underbelly of the tuna, one of the most desirable parts of the fish. You also can locate the source of the fish you are tasting. Simply use the locator code on the bottle and enter this into an app on the website. It will show you the source of the fish in this bottle. A fantastic use of technology and packaging.

Enjoy in snack on bread or crackers, and hors d’oeuvres, or in a complete recipe, such as the one below.
