IL VERO SAPORE DEL SALENTO
Una passione antica

La Fabbrica del Tonno Colimena nasce in Salento dal desiderio di conservare e tramandare la ricetta del vero sapore del tonno del Mediterraneo.

Da quel giorno, il nostro tonno ha saputo conquistare il palato dei migliori chef, grazie al proprio gusto intatto ed equilibrato e ad una produzione che rispetta i più alti standard qualitativi.

Ogni giorno confezioniamo lo spirito originale dei nostri mari, seguendo fedelmente la tradizione dei pescatori che hanno dato vita alla cultura culinaria del Salento. Un patrimonio che ci è stato tramandato per portarlo oggi nelle cucine di chiunque voglia riscoprire la buona cucina mediterranea.

UNA STORIA MEDITERRANEA
All'ombra di Torre Colimena

La Fabbrica del Tonno Colimena prende il nome dalla Torre Colimena, un’antica fortificazione situata in una baia nel Parco Naturale “Palude del Conte e Dune Costiere”. Questo luogo rappresenta il cuore naturale e incontaminato del Salento, al centro di un litorale dal mare cristallino che va dalla Salina Vecchia di Manduria ai porti dei pescatori.

Un territorio dove da generazioni si tramanda la cultura della pesca del tonno, della sua lavorazione e di una tradizione gastronomica unica al mondo.

Uno spirito che oggi sopravvive, conservando il nome del luogo da cui tutto ha avuto inizio.
