" Cuca" Ventresca White Tuna in Olive Oil 4 Oz (Canned)

not the best ventresca, tonnino is better. At this price, so is canned trout and mackerel.

No problems receiving item. Arrived on time and product is as described. My husband and I love ventresca tuna, this one is ok but we prefer a different brand. This one had the flavor that you would find in regular canned tuna instead of the delicate flavor you get with other brands of ventresca tuna. I would not buy this again unless the price came way down. Nothing really wrong with it. Just better brands out there.

This was a very nice can of tuna ventresca, noticeably more tender and fattier tasting than typical canned tuna (it is, after all, the belly cut). Amazing as is, straight from the can, or picked and tossed with some finely chopped red onion and parsley, mixed with some of Teeny Tiny Spice Co's British Curry or West African Curry, drizzled with a bit of extra virgin olive oil (drained of its own, as the "olive" oil in this can is not very convincing), and sandwiched between two slices of rustic bread that have been drenched in olive oil before toasting to perfection. No fancy restaurant or hotel anywhere serves up a better tuna sandwich. I have not much felt like trying any other brand of ventresca since, even when reduced in price, because Cuca was just perfect (fatty and tender with a lovely delicate flavor) and so I have settled on Cuca as my brand for ventresca. I really wish ventresca was not so prohibitively expensive in general, as I could eat it for days without getting bored--it is that good. Add a can to your next order, and try Ortiz tuna as well when you have the chance (I have not had their ventresca yet, but their "regular" bonito tuna is the best anywhere). That is my recommendation. ; )

I've been trying several brands of Bonito tuna. Belly meat (ventresca) is ordinarily a premium cut but I still find "regular" Ortiz Bonito Del Norte better tasting. This CUCA brand has acceptable flavor, but at 150% more money, loses on value.

I tried:5 stars: Ortiz Ventresca de "Bonito del Norte" (Atlantic albacore = white tuna), line & wild caught, in quality olive oil, product of Spain4.8 stars: Cuca Ventresca de "Bonito del Norte" (Atlantic albacore = white tuna), wild caught, in quality olive oil, product of Spain4.6 stars: Zoe Ventresca Atlantic yellowfin tuna in quality olive oil, product of Spain4.5 stars: Ortiz "Bonito del Norte" (Atlantic albacore = white tuna), in quality olive oil, product of Spain (factor 2 cheaper because not ventresca, but very tasty)3 stars: Callipo Pacific yellowfin tuna underbelly in olive oil hand packed in Italy….1 star: Genova yellowfin tuna, in olive oil, canned in Thailand pretending to provide “distinctive mediterranean taste” - I don't like the taste and the fake pretense of Italian origin

This stuff is good. I can not stand tuna at all and was able to eat some of this without gagging. It is very true about what they say when they tell you get what you pay for. Dont get me wrong, I am not going to eat this every day. I will get it and eat it on occasion though. I am very happy with the purchase and look forward to buying this stuff in the future.It has a good non fishy taste and doesnt smell bad either. I think that is why I dont normally like canned tuna. This stuff is just good all around. I even got my mom to open one and fix it up and she is worse then me when it comes to tuna.

I've had Ventresca before and I love it. This ISN'T it, save the money and go Charlie Tuna.

thanks
