Tonnare Fao37

Tonnare Fao37 is located in Sicily, where the roots of their work have been planted for thirteen generations, even before 1874, when Ignazio Florio Senior acquired full ownership of the Egadi Islands and the Tonnara di Favignana.

This place holds a unique history, preserving the rito della mattanza as a method of fishing for bluefin tuna, an ancient tradition of the fishing and preserving art.

Even today, the sea allows for continued fishing of bluefin tuna, which is fundamental for Tonnare Fao37 in the preparation of their products.
 

The sustainable catch of Tonnare Fao37

Tonnare Fao37 catches bluefin tuna using a rod, applying the traceability certifications dictated and regulated by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas.

Among the products of this company, we also have Bottarga di Tonno Rosso (did you know that Bottarga is considered the caviar of the Mediterranean?)

Furthermore, it has been recognized by the global agency with the "Tuna for Life Sustainable Fishing" for its commitment and respect for the sea and marine species that are considered a priority, adopting selective fishing techniques that allow for the release of accidentally captured prey.
 

Where the fishing takes place

The excellent catch of Tonnare Fao37 comes from the Tyrrhenian Sea area and the adjacent waters, limited by a line starting from the African coast to the Algerian-Tunisian border and continuing consecutively in the following directions: north to 37°00 north latitude; following the Italian coast eastward, passing the point located at 38°00 north latitude, until the coast of Sicily; following the northern Sicilian coast, up to Trapani; along a rhumb line to Cape Bon.
