Bluefin Tuna Tarantelo Cut in Olive Oil

Tender and flavorful bluefin tuna tarantelo in olive oil.

Tarantelo is a cut of the tuna belly that is right next to the ventresca. Where the ventresca is larger and closer to the head, the tarantelo is smaller and closer to the tail.

The tarantelo cut comes from the belly of the bluefin tuna, which is one of the most sought-after parts of the fish due to its exceptional flavor and marbling.

It is often considered the “oily” or “fatty” part of the tuna, which contributes to its melt-in-your-mouth

One of our favorite preserves, with a little less fat than ventresca but with an extraordinary flavor as well. Try it with a glass of sherry!
