Back to our products
This Tapas Kit contains all the different ingredients you need to prepare twelve delicious Tapas of Bonito con Pimientos. This tapa is rich in omega oils and minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants, an especially healthy combination
Bonito del Norte is the prized, tender, delicately flavoured white tuna line-caught in the cold waters of the Bay of Biscay off Spain’s northern coast. It is cooked in salt water and packed in extra virgin olive oil, which helps keep the fish moist and flavourful.
The Piquillo Pepper is unique to the Navarra region in the north of Spain. The “piquillo” name is derived from the Spanish for “little beak”, due to its pointy shape. These small peppers are harvested in the autumn and roasted over embers to give a characteristic rich, smoky flavour. They are finally hand peeled to protect the distinctive meaty flesh.
The Extra Virgin Olive Oil is cold-pressed from Arbequina olives, a small brown variety typical of the regions of Catalonia, Aragon and Andalusia. Arbequina olive oils taste green and herbaceous with a slight pepper finish.
The pack is completed with 12 tostas, a special bread for Tapas.
 "“A todo se acostumbra uno,
menos a no comer”
Spanish saying, meaning that we can get used to just anything,
except for not eating.

White Tune in Olive Oil with Roasted Piquillo Peppers is one of the most popular Tapas consumed in Spain, and well known around the world thanks to the San Fermines festival. During this celebration hundreds of thousands of people from around the world, wearing all white and a red pañuelo around their necks, meet in Navarra’s capital, Pamplona, to run with bulls through the streets. There’s no tavern around the main Plaza del Castillo, where Hemingway used to spend his time, missing this Tapa. Whether or not you plan on meeting us in Pamplona next July 7th, you can always delight your friends by preparing this delicious Tapa singing the famous running-with-the-bulls song: “Uno de enero, dos de febrero, tres de marzo, cuatro de abril, cinco de mayo, seis de junio, siete de julio… San Fermín!”
