Tuna Caponata - Traditional Sicilian Recipe by Sebastiano Drago

Experience the perfect harmony between the deep flavors of the sea and the vibrant taste of Sicilian gardens. Drago's Tuna Caponata is a ready-to-enjoy delicacy created for food lovers who crave authentic, traditional Mediterranean recipes with maximum convenience.

Origin and Craftsmanship

Since 1929, the Drago family has preserved and passed down the art of seafood preserving in Syracuse, Sicily. This recipe stems from a deep passion for high-quality ingredients and respect for age-old island traditions. Premium Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is carefully selected, processed in Italy, and combined with a medley of fresh vegetables reminiscent of Sicily's historic open-air markets.

Sensory Profile

On the nose, it instantly releases the iconic aromas of Mediterranean sweet-and-sour cuisine, where subtle notes of vinegar and sugar meld with fragrant celery and capers. On the palate, the firm yet tender texture of the tuna chunks merges smoothly with creamy aubergines and savory green olives, offering a rich, balanced, and lingering taste of Sicily.
