Mediterranean Blufin Tuna Vantresca in Virgin Olive Oil - Pack of 10

So tasty

Decent quality. A little too strong fish taste

I used to consume this tuna for years. It was truly the golden standard in ventresca. The red Sorra box: you would see it, you would instantly feel like you’re about to go through something really unique. I got to buy large batches over time, as I enjoyed the soft, buttery texture of this product. No one on the market could beat these guys. However, for 2-3 years, Kartago ceased offering this product altogether. When it came back on the market, I purchased around 50 boxes. To my dismay, they changed the type of tuna / supplier they used, and now offer a subpar white albacore tuna. The closest product it can be compared to is the Tonnino bottled tuna you can find (at a great price) on Amazon. I already tested dozen cans: it’s all the same cheap stuff. Sold at the same price than before. I am so disappointed in this change. The Sorra was synonymous with the best ventresca out there. It’s now a pale copy of better products on the market. Huge miss for Kartago. Will 100% stop buying in bulk like I used to. You can try Yurrita in case you’re looking for the best ventresca out there. They essentially offer the “old” Sorra quality. A little more expensive but oh so worth it.

I regularly buy Al Manar tuna and have always been impressed by the quality and consistent flavor. It’s one of my go-to products—reliable, tasty, and well-packed. However, this time, the taste was noticeably off. The tuna had a strange, almost bitter aftertaste that I suspect came from the olive oil. It didn’t have the usual smooth, balanced flavor I’m used to. Hopefully this was just a bad batch, because I really enjoy this brand and would like to keep buying it.

This is my intro to Ventresca and it did not go well. The can was half oil and half fish. Instead of the luscious light velvety texture I was expecting all I got was 5 very tough, gray strips of fish. In fact the taste was more like sardine than tuna. Even though I got this on Prime Day it was still very expensive. Such a let down.

Unfortunately All cans were bad . They smell and brown , I had to throw them in trash after I got sick . My advice Be careful , smell your product before you eat it . Was amazing few years ago now They all smell worse then cat food. Very disappointing !! Was my favorite tuna 🥹

Good tuna

Rather dissatisfied with this item, maybe I just got a bad order. I will give it another try at a later date.
