How to Use
Drain Genova Yellowfin Tuna and use the flavor-infused olive oil from the can as a dressing base. For a classic Italian tuna salad (tonno e fagioli), flake tuna over cannellini beans with red onion, celery, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon — no additional oil needed. Toss with spaghetti or linguine and cherry tomatoes, garlic, capers, and fresh basil for pasta al tonno in under 15 minutes. Layer on toasted sourdough with white beans and arugula for bruschetta al tonno. Flake over arugula with capers, shaved Parmesan, and lemon for an Italian-style salad. Add to grain bowls with roasted vegetables, olives, and a drizzle of the can's olive oil. Use in Nicoise salad alongside hard-boiled eggs, green beans, potatoes, and olives. One 7 oz can serves 2 as a main protein or 4 as a topping.

No — the Easy Open pull-tab lid means you can open it anywhere without tools.
