Hand-packed and cooked just once for maximum flavor and nutrition, our albacore tuna are selected for their small size to ensure optimal levels of purity.
In addition to ample protein, albacore provides omega-3s in abundance, and substantial amounts of vitamin D.
Unlike most canned tuna, which is cooked twice once before canning and once afterwards ours is cooked only once, in the can.
This unusual practiceyields exceptionally highomega-3 levels, fresh flavor, and firm texture, compared with virtually all other brands.
Vital Choice albacore tuna is caughtby our neighbor Paul Hill, who flash-freezes it upon harvestto preserve itsfreshness.
Sustainably harvested
Ouralbacore isindividually line-caught in the North Pacific, using the sustainable troll method.
This ensures careful handling of each fish, safety for dolphins, and very minimal bycatch.
Accordingly,ourcanned tuna is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
And all albacore from our North Pacific fishery is categorized as a "Best Choice by the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Optimally pure
Pedatory fish such as tuna accumulate mercury over time.
So our fisherman, Paul Hill, provides us only with younger, smaller albacore (15 lbs or less) for optimal purity.
These smaller fish comprise a portion of every catch, and are not targeted for harvest.
