Contact your rep for a web account to enable online ordering.
Rich and fatty belly cut of Thunnus alalunga, the namesake for the brand. Mellow flavors allow the subtle textures of the meat to shine through.
Tarantello (also spelled tarantelo) is a luxurious belly cut from this Albacore. Located just behind the more well known belly cut of ventresca, tarantello is meatier, but still flush with flavorful and silky fat.
Each summer, schools of Albacore make their way into the Bay of Biscay in search of food. There, they are caught by local fishermen and sold in market on the same day. Alalunga only crafts their “Bonitos” from this bounty in the summer months, when they are local and fresh as can be.
