The Chicago Tribune endeavored to discover the finest tuna in all the land for making tuna salad. "Tuna salad is the stuff of countless lunches, whether sandwiched between slices of bread, scooped onto a bed of lettuce or stuffed into plump tomatoes," writes Bill Daley, "But which brand of canned tuna makes the best tuna salad?"

None of the 13 brands tested. None of them makes the best. Be good to yourself, eat Donostia Foods Bonito del Norte tuna. Declared by family members and non-family members alike as the "best tuna ever!"

About

One afternoon not that long ago, A.J. Weiss was sitting in a cafe, tapping his pen on an empty note pad, and staring out the window. The prior accumulated years of adventure, heartbreak, and common drudgery had all amounted to this, a particular moment, for reasons both unknown and fairly straightforward. The most straightforward being that he worked at Blue Planet Foods, Ltd., importer of high-quality food products and ingredients, and that he had set forth to complete the task of conjuring a suitable name for the company's new Spanish specialty food brand. After a certain amount of consideration and voluminous list-making, Donostia Foods came to be.

What was the inspiration for this (superb) brand name? Donostia-San Sebastián, a small coastal city in Basque Country in northern Spain, renowned for its restaurants, gastronomic societies, and culinary traditions. A place where locals and visitors alike wander the cobblestones of the old town in the warm evening light, drifting amongst the pintxo bars to sample unparalleled small-bites accompanied by the effervescent local wine, txakoli, and sharing in the laughter that becomes the fondest of memories; a place that exudes good food, good drinks, and a general sense of revelry. All of which is quite enjoyable.

With Donostia Foods we hope to introduce more people in the United States to the gastronomic pleasures of Donostia-San Sebastián and Spain as a whole, with a continually expanding product line of the best examples of the best products we can find and with the conviviality of the place itself.

Thank you for your interest in Donostia Foods, and if there's anything we can do for you, please contact us.
