Herpac Yellowfin Tuna with Pedro Ximénez – 250g

This is one of those products that stops people mid-sentence at the table.

Produced in Andalusia by Herpac, this Yellowfin tuna is a masterclass in restraint, balance, and confidence. Thick, generous cuts of responsibly sourced yellowfin are gently cooked to preserve their natural texture, then paired with Pedro Ximénez in a way that enhances rather than dominates.

The ingredient list is deceptively simple, and that is exactly the point. Yellowfin tuna, olive oil, Pedro Ximénez wine, and salt. No stabilisers. No sweeteners. No masking flavours. The sweetness comes solely from the Pedro Ximénez itself, a naturally sweet fortified wine made from sun-dried grapes, bringing notes of raisin, fig, and caramel without tipping into syrupy territory.

What makes this tin special is the contrast. The tuna is meaty, clean, and savoury, with a firm yet yielding bite. The Pedro Ximénez adds a gentle sweetness and depth, rounding out the fish and creating a subtle glaze that clings to each piece. It is rich but composed, luxurious without being heavy.

This is not a spread or a pâté. These are proper fillets, meant to be eaten as they are. Serve it with good bread, a few toasted almonds, or simply alongside roasted peppers. It also shines on a charcuterie board, offering something unexpected next to cured meats and cheeses.

Elegant, bold, and quietly indulgent, this is conserva for people who think they have tried it all.
