The story
On the island of São Jorge, the Santa Catarina cannery has earned a devoted following among seafood purists. Sentieri Golosi, in a travel episode, declared it “the best tuna in the world,” praising its handmade fillets and commitment to sustainability. The operation produces what are considered the most sustainable preserves available, with a focus on quality that resonates far beyond the Azores.
Though the team behind the cannery was unable to tour the factory itself, the product alone tells the story. Santa Catarina represents a quiet, artisanal approach to tuna preservation—one rooted in tradition and respect for the ocean. For those seeking exceptional canned tuna without industrial shortcuts, this is a name to remember.
