Rödel White Tuna in Olive Oil

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Impeccably sourced from the rich waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the white tuna in Rödel’s Thon Blanc Germon à l’huile d’olive presents an exquisite ‘sea-to-table’ dining experience. The star ingredient, white tuna, also known as Germon, is a rarity valued for its delicate and refined flavor. The subtle yet encompassing tune of the sea in each bite is set against the distinctive backdrop of extra virgin olive oil, creating a harmonious symphony of flavors. The olive oil, cold-pressed, is worth noting due to its expertly curated profile which seamlessly amplifies the tuna, without overpowering it. Together, they present a sensory encounter that is texturally tender and smoothly resonates with subtle culinary elegance.
