Island Creek Oyster Tuna Belly In Galician Butter

What's Inside?

Ingredients: White tuna belly and butter

Why We Love It

The butter this tuna is preserved in is handmade by a lone neighborhood dairy farmer, Carmela. She milks her cows every day at 7am, churning butter using classic, traditional methods without modern-day machinery. One bite of this butter has the ability to transport Galician locals back to days of their youth!

Harvesting and canning production are entirely dictated by the seasons and the health of the shellfish stocks, meaning that no two years will look the same and which is what makes these products so special.The ocean has shaped the culture, cuisine, and economy of Galicia for centuries. Nicknamed “the land of a thousand rivers”, Galicia is studded with bays and inlets which are fed “rías” (aka estuaries). It's this magical brew of the fresh and salt water that makes Galicia one of the most prolific shellfishing regions in the world.

How To Eat It

Heat it before ya eat it. Temper the tin before eating by steeping it in warm water for a few minutes. When the tin is warmed through and the butter is silky, simply eat the contents straight out of the tin, pour over fresh pasta, slather on quality bread, or endeavor to make TUNA BUTTERED POPCORN. Call me when you get there!
