Bonito Tuna Belly in Butter Airas Moniz Los Peperetes 120 g
Bonito tuna belly in butter in a 120 g tin (85 g drained), a Los Peperetes preserve that swaps the usual oil for artisan butter from Airas Moniz.
Juicy flakes of Bonito del Norte with butter made from the milk of Jersey cows, which softens when you warm the tin.
Creamy, mellow and just briny enough, great on toast, in salads or as an appetiser.
Winner of the Galicia Alimentación Award 2026. We ship it from LoveGour.
🐟 Bonito tuna belly in Airas Moniz butter
If you already love ventresca, the tender belly cut of tuna, and fancy something other than olive oil, this tin from Los Peperetes deserves a spot in your pantry. Tender flakes of Bonito del Norte belly are packed by hand and covered in butter instead of oil. The result is creamier, rounder and far less common.
🧈 A butter with a name of its own
The butter comes from Airas Moniz, an award-winning Galician dairy, and is made with raw milk from pasture-raised Jersey cows. It grew out of a collaboration with Los Peperetes, the cannery in Carril (Vilagarcía de Arousa), and you can taste it: it adds a silky texture and a soft dairy depth that never hides the flavour of the fish.
🍽️ How to serve bonito tuna belly in butter
One simple trick: leave the tin in hot water for about 2 minutes before opening. The butter softens and melts slightly. After that, you have a few good options:
- Piled on a slice of toasted country bread with a squeeze of lemon.
- With a tomato or baby leaf salad, where the butter works as the dressing.
- As an appetiser with a well-chilled white wine, such as an Albariño Pazo de Señorans.
