Balfegó tuna belly loin

Balfegó bluefin tuna belly loin

Fresh belly loin from Balfegó bluefin tuna. This cut comes from the belly section of the fish and differs from the dorsal loin through its higher fat content and more pronounced marbling. The belly is one of the most highly prized parts of bluefin tuna. Its combination of intramuscular fat, tender texture and rich flavour makes belly loin particularly suitable for premium raw and cooked preparations.

Flavour & texture

Rich, full and distinctive. Softer and fattier than dorsal loin, with clearly visible fat marbling. The exact distribution of fat varies according to the section and individual fish.

Culinary applications

Excellent for sashimi, nigiri and sushi. Also particularly suitable for quickly grilling, pan-searing or searing at high temperature.
