Callipo Yellowfin Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil is a premium Italian tuna preserved in olive oil, produced by Callipo, a historic seafood company founded in 1913 in Pizzo, Calabria, a region with a long tradition of tuna fishing. Callipo is one of the most respected tuna producers in Italy and has even been recognized as an Official Supplier to the Italian Royal House, reflecting the brand’s long-standing reputation for quality.
These tuna fillets are made from Yellowfin tuna (Tonno a Pinne Gialle), known for its firm texture, light color, and clean flavor. The tuna is caught responsibly, cooked, and hand-packed into tins, then preserved in olive oil to maintain moisture, texture, and flavor. Hand-packing helps keep the fillets whole and tender rather than broken into flakes.
The result is a solid, tender tuna with a delicate flavor and rich olive oil, making it very versatile and suitable for both simple and more refined dishes.
This tuna is especially well suited for:
• Tuna sandwiches
• Salads
• Pasta dishes
• Rice dishes
• Stuffed tomatoes or vegetables
• Serving with beans or potatoes
• Tapas and appetizers
• Eating simply with bread and olive oil
Rich, tender, and traditionally prepared, Callipo tuna is a classic Italian pantry staple that reflects over a century of tuna fishing and seafood preservation traditions from Calabria.
