Like the anchovy fillet, the anchovy is caught between March and June. But the anchovies are macerated with vinegar so that they get that whitish color and can be tasted later in oil. These anchovy fillets do not come into contact with salt at any time, so their flavor differs greatly from that of an anchovy fillet.
It should be remembered that this is a semi-preserved product, and therefore it should always be kept between 1-4ºC. Breaking the cold chain can cause the anchovy to deteriorate, resulting in a loss of quality, texture and flavor, as well as a loss of shelf life.

Advantages of White Tuna
When we eat white tuna, we are eating a healthy and wholesome food, essential for a balanced diet. Its high nutritional value increases when it is canned. In addition, canned white tuna can benefit from the added nutritional value of other products (such as olive oil).
Panned white tuna is rich in proteins (of high biological value) and contains a large amount of vitamins (A, B, B12 and D, as well as E, which has a protective antioxidant effect). It provides minerals such as calcium and iodine, essential for metabolism.
Its meat is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that contribute to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. It thus helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, omega-3 is essential in the nervous tissue and retina, as it is part of its cells.
It is a highly recommended food for the full neurological and ocular development of children, as the retina and nervous system are still in formation.
Suitable for coeliacs
