Tuna | Bluefin | Saku Block

Balfegó represents perfection in the capture and distribution of Mediterranean bluefin tuna. For five generations, this family-run business has dedicated itself with passion and the highest precision to this noble "raw diamond" of the sea. The tuna are caught in the open Mediterranean Sea, kept in aquaculture farms off the coast of Spain near L'Ametlla de Mar, and fed selected baitfish such as sardines and mackerel. This controlled rearing process allows them to achieve an ideal fat content, a fine texture, and a distinctive flavour that is appreciated worldwide. Processing is carried out using the traditional Japanese Ike-Jime technique – a particularly gentle method that kills the fish stress-free and preserves the quality of the meat. A unique traceability system enables absolute transparency: each fish can be traced via an individual QR code back to its capture date, weight, fat content, and sustainability certificate. Thanks to this sustainable method, Balfegó offers tuna of consistently top quality all year round – regardless of the fishing season. The result is tuna of exceptional quality, purity, and elegance – a product renowned by top chefs worldwide as the epitome of perfection and authenticity.
