White tuna in olive oil

At Aimar we take the “bonito del norte” (white tuna) very seriously. We select the pieces of fresh bonito from the best fish markets in the Basque Country and we make fresh bonito preserves in less than 24 hours from their collection.

Bonito in oil is considered a delicacy with recognized international prestige. This fish, also known in some places as albacore tuna or white tuna, can measure almost five feet and weigh up to 60 kg. At the end of spring is when it is located in the waters of the Cantabrian Sea, the fishing is carried out with a hook to try to make the fish suffer as little as possible and obtain a higher quality meat.
