QUALITY 100% MADE IN

It is the art of continuing to do things well.

The counter-current choice to work the tuna in Sardinia and the mackerel in Portugal has saved an invaluable treasure of craftsmanship and professionalism that today gives value to our product.

Quality in SELECTION

We do everything, processing the tuna from whole.

Product quality control starts from afar, from the place of origin, with respect of the stringent parameters we expect in selecting our raw material.

We choose them with care, looking into their eyes.

Observing the whole tuna tells us about its characteristics, including information such as species, size, freshness and appearance of the meat, ensuring high and consistent standards.

Precision is everything

Expert selection of the parts is at the heart of ASDOMAR quality.

The most advanced technologies accompany the artisanal capacities and careful eye of our workers. But it is in the moment of selection, in which the parts are designated to the various types of processing, that the experience passed on through the generations emerges. Knowledge that truly makes the difference in the product that ends up on our tables.

All production phases for our tuna are carried out in Olbia. A location choice for our operations that has recovered a precious local artisanal tradition.

Here we carry out all phases of production: from sectioning to packaging, following the fully Italian art of cooking, cleaning and selecting the fish. Only in this way is true Italian quality produced, giving an authentic value to the phrase “Processed in Italy”, which is on our labels.
