• Preserved in quality olive oil
• Moist and silky texture
• Continuing an ancient Galician fishing tradition

Settled in the pre-Roman times, the ancient Galician fishing village of Burela is located to the north of the walled city of Lugo on the coast of the Cantabrian Sea. For centuries it has been known in Spain for its unique Bonito del Norte.
