Canned tuna from Santa Catarina

Canned tuna was the starting point for Grøndals & Co. It was the very first canned food we sold and it is still something we are proud to have. Because much other canned tuna is provided in the Indian Ocean and in Asia, our good skipjack comes from the Atlantic Ocean and the Azores.

It is fished according to tradition with pole and line, or certified Pole & line tuna, INPLF, and For us, rod-fished tuna is the only correct method to use in tuna fishing. In this way, we ensure that the catch of tuna only contains skipjack tuna, which is not endangered in the Atlantic Ocean and which has a naturally low content of heavy metals. But other advantages are also the avoidance of bycatch and gentle fishing in relation to dolphins. In other words, tuna fished on rod and line is preferable.

Enough about the blue stamping of the tuna fishery, and to the tuna itself. Fro it is special. So special that Gastro magazine voted our Tuna fillet in organic olive oil the best luxury canned tuna in the category, and it also distinguished itself as the cheapest.

The fact that our canned tuna, with many weak varieties of tuna fillet in fennel seeds, chili or spiced olive oil, should be award-winning is due to the proud tradition that the people of the Azores are driven by. An island culture that is closely related to the will of modern nature, which is why you respect the raw materials it provides and put all your energy into creating tasty and responsible canned tuna - on the islands, stormy weather often puts an end to the fresh fish for the dinner table.
