Melva de Andalucia

Melva de Andalucia are preserved tuna fillets, produced by hand using traditional methods in the province of Almería. This tuna is packaged either in tins or glass jars and can be preserved using water, or either olive or sunflower oil.


Melva de Andalucia is a gourmet product made by hand-skinning the tuna, lightly salting and canning the meat. Every step of the production, from catching the fish to canning the fillets, must take place in the municipalities of Almería, Adra, Carboneras, Garrucha and Roquetas de Mar in the province of Almería.


By avoiding standard industrial methods of canning fish, and utilising traditional ways of preservation, manufacturers have achieved the product of exceptional quality and unmistakable flavor.
