Rio Mare stands apart through our commitment to premium quality ingredients and Italian culinary excellence. What truly sets us apart is our commitment to the Italian philosophy of food: that starting from few, high-quality ingredients and combining them masterfully is the best way to deliver a rich, satisfying taste. Each fish is meticulously cleaned by hand to remove any imperfections, resulting in clean fish loins with a mild taste and minimal fishy smell. Our tuna is then prepared with pure olive oil and just a pinch of salt to enhance the natural flavors. The result is a superior taste experience that brings the authentic taste of Italy to your table.

Tuna in olive oil is the traditional Italian way to preserve and enhance the flavor of premium tuna. There are several advantages to our recipes:

• Superior Taste Experience: Olive oil helps preserve the natural moisture of the tuna while infusing it with a subtle richness that water-packed tuna simply cannot match.
• Better Texture: Tuna packed in olive oil maintains a more tender, moist texture compared to water-packed varieties, which can sometimes become dry and flaky.
• Enhanced Flavor Absorption: The olive oil acts as a flavor carrier, allowing the tuna to absorb and retain the delicate taste, resulting in a more aromatic and flavorful product.
• Culinary Versatility: The drizzle of olive oil adds value to your dishes—there's no need to drain it away. Instead, it becomes part of the culinary experience, perfect for incorporating into pasta sauces, salad dressings, or simply enjoying with fresh bread.
• Mediterranean Wellness: A great protein source for creating nutritious meals inspired by the world’s heathiest diet. 

Following Italian culinary tradition, we believe olive oil is the perfect companion to our tuna, creating a ready-to-enjoy product that delivers exceptional taste with every bite.

We primarily use yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in our tuna in olive oil products. Yellowfin tuna is prized for its mild flavor and firm texture, making it perfect for a variety of culinary applications.

Just three simple ingredients: prime quality tuna, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. True to Italian culinary philosophy, our expertise lies in transforming simple ingredients into a distinctive taste experience—where quality and craftsmanship create great taste in every can.

Rio Mare tuna is distinctively solid yet tender—not flaked or chunked like many mainstream brands. This solid texture is a hallmark of premium quality and demonstrates our commitment to using only the best cuts of tuna.

At Rio Mare, we take pride in preserving the integrity of the tuna loin, resulting in a product that maintains its solid form while remaining perfectly tender. This superior texture not only enhances the taste experience but also makes our tuna ideal for recipes where the presentation of beautiful, intact pieces of tuna is desired.

Rio Mare follows exceptionally high quality standards that exceed industry norms. We implement a stringent "double-cleaning" and selection process of tuna loins. This approach ensures that only the highest quality fish loins make it into our cans, resulting in tuna with a cleaner pink color, milder taste, and minimal fishy smell that consumers appreciate.

Rio Mare uses diversified fishing methods that comply with international standards for responsible fishing. Our tuna products are MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certified, which guarantees they come from sustainable fisheries.
