Balfegó Tuna Chutoro Saku Blocks

Discover the luxury and refinement of our Balfegó tuna chutoro saku blocks. Cut from the belly area of the bluefin tuna, this part offers a rich, pink to reddish-brown color with beautiful marbling that highlights its silky texture and full, buttery flavor. Thanks to the extreme freezing process at -60°C, all nutrients, flavor, and structure are preserved to the highest degree, making these blocks perfect for culinary professionals. Our chutoro blocks contain both fatty and lean meat, creating a harmonious balance between strength and subtlety. The soft, melting texture makes them ideal for sashimi, sushi, nigiri, and other raw dishes. They are vacuum-packed and quickly frozen to guarantee maximum freshness and traceability.

Important: Due to the natural marbling, some blocks may contain veils of fat. These veils can, in some cases, lead to a less optimal final raw preparation. Therefore, we recommend using these blocks mainly for lightly cooked, grilled, or otherwise prepared dishes for the best taste and texture experience.
