Real Conservera Española’s Albacore Tuna Ventresca in Olive Oil (Costera Edition) is one of the most exquisite tuna conservas you can buy — a true benchmark of Spanish seafood craftsmanship. Produced only during the peak costera season, when albacore reach their ideal fat and flavour, this limited edition reflects the meticulous standards that have made Real Conservera one of Spain’s most respected canneries since 1920.
Ventresca, the delicate belly cut, is prized for its buttery texture and naturally rich, almost silky mouthfeel. Unlike many commercial brands that can be dry or overly packed, Real Conservera hand-selects each fillet, arranges them gently by hand, and preserves them in fine olive oil that enhances rather than masks the fish’s pristine flavour. The result is astonishingly tender tuna with layered notes of sweetness, ocean freshness, and a luxurious finish that lingers.
This is the kind of conserva chefs reach for — refined, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Compared to other tuna on the market, the Costera Edition stands out for its texture, its purity, and its unmistakable small-batch quality.
Serving suggestion:
Serve the ventresca as-is with nothing more than thinly sliced tomatoes, flaky salt, olive oil, and good bread. Or break gently over warm potatoes with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley.
