Balfegó tuna loin (no center)

Balfegó bluefin tuna loin

Fresh loin of Balfegó bluefin tuna, cut from the dorsal/loin section of the fish. As this is not exclusively a centre-cut loin, the piece may contain different degrees of colour and fat marbling. Depending on its position within the loin, the cut may include both relatively lean red meat and lightly marbled sections. This makes it highly versatile for professional kitchens.

Flavour & texture

Full tuna flavour with a firm yet tender texture. Fat content and marbling may vary throughout the cut.

Culinary applications

Highly suitable for sashimi, sushi, tataki, tartare, carpaccio and tuna steaks. It can also be quickly seared or grilled at high temperature.
