Why choose Balfego?
- Sustainable Fishing and Environment: Balfego's approach to sustainable fishing protects the tuna population and ensures that tuna are caught only at maturity (from 150kg, i.e. ~11 years, when allowed from 30kg, i.e. ~3 years). The pools where they continue to live are established in the area where tuna are accustomed, giving plenty of space to move and grow, using 100% natural feeding.
- Always fresh tuna: It takes 2-3 days from catch to your restaurant. The products are flown by airplanes, the next day after catch, with a direct flight to Vilnius airport.
- Highest quality: starting from the fish-catching stage, with divers using the Ikejime technique (which helps to avoid "stressed" production), continuing with rigorous laboratory testing and ending with safe thermal packaging for transportation. These are the elements that ensure impeccable quality.
- Traceability and Certifications: Balfego's traceability system is innovative in the world of fishing. At the time of shipment, all information about the tuna is provided: date of capture, weight, length or fat content, health status, quality indicators and environmental sustainability certificates, as well as the ability to monitor the transportation status "live".
- Customized Solutions: We offer tuna parts of various sizes and structures to meet your unique culinary needs.
