Jose Gourmet - Ventrusca Tuna in Olive Oil

Premium Portuguese tuna belly — rich, tender and delicately flavoured

Crafted by José Gourmet, this Ventresca Tuna showcases one of the most prized cuts in the world of artisan conservas. Taken from the buttery belly of the tuna, ventresca is celebrated for its exceptionally tender texture, delicate flake and naturally rich flavour.

Sustainably sourced from Atlantic waters and prepared using traditional Portuguese methods, each fillet is carefully hand-packed in high-quality olive oil that enhances the tuna’s natural sweetness and preserves its luxurious mouthfeel.

The result is refined and elegant — a melt-in-the-mouth tinned fish delicacy with remarkable depth and balance. This is premium tuna for discerning seafood lovers, elevated entertaining, and gourmet pantry collections.

Beautifully presented in artist-designed packaging, it’s a standout tin that delivers on flavour, ethics and visual appeal.
