What is it?
Tuna fish that is not obtained from the sea. This analogue resembles the typical canned tuna.
With a fishy aroma rising from the can when you open it, this flavour combination has been carefully selected to withstand the severe heat-treatment in the autoclave. Similarly to regular tuna, this autoclave treatment makes the product shelf stable.
The juicy and flakey texture is specifically designed to make a delicious tuna that can be applied in salads, sauces or just to be eaten directly from the can.
This makes it possible to consume this guilt-free fishy treat whenever you want!
TOP's role
The years of experience of TOP in the meat analogues space made it possible to develop this plant-based tuna.
Especially combining the expertise in retort processing with the product development was essential for the success of this project. However, it was no easy task to find a suitable flavour that would not disintegrate during heat-treatment.
Combine that with textured vegetable proteins that would turn to pulp when heated extensively, this would seem like an impossible task.
Even with these hurdles, the expertise of TOP has managed to successfully create this product.
