[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best tasting canned tuna that I have bought. It is a premium product with great quality. It has a great taste to it, without being very overly fishy. Very soft texture to it. I will definitely buy this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Rio Mare Solid Light Wild Tuna in Olive Oil (3 x 2.3oz) as part of the Stellar Product Testing panel. I've tried a lot of canned tunas over the years, and this one definitely stands out. Compared to the usual grocery store brands, the taste is smoother and less “fishy.” The texture is firm but not dry, closer to chunks of actual tuna steak rather than mushy. I used it to make a simple tuna salad and it turned out fantastic. Because the tuna itself is already packed in olive oil, it has a deeper flavor, so I didn't need to add much else. It's definitely more expensive than the standard supermarket brands. But the quality justifies the price, you're paying for a product that actually tastes like tuna you'd eat fresh rather than just “protein filler.” What stood out most to me was the clean, meaty flavor and the fact that I didn't have to “doctor it up” to make it enjoyable. It feels more like a specialty ingredient than a pantry backup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] RIO MARE wild tuna in olive oil is healthy, protein, vitamins and minerals packed which makes your meal more healthy and delicious. It is good to enjoy and can be made well with added spices and flavors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, even before opening I moved the pull tab on the top. It makes it so much easier for on the go when I don't have a can opener with me. Upon opening there is minimal oil so you don't have to drain it much, if at all. The smell is not strong and fishy, there are no dark spots or bones, and the taste is great! Thank you so much to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this tuna to try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don' normally like tuna because the other brands usually taste either too mushy or too dry and bland, etc. but this tuna was so delicious right out of the can without having to add anything to it! I did not need to add any mayo because it was already moist from the oil and I did not have to add any tuna salad ingredients like: celery, pickles, grapes, dried cranberries, dill weed, etc. because it tasted flavorful all on its own! This saved me time from having to chop and add and mix all of those things! It saved me dishes from not having to wash a knife, cutting board and bowl from having to chop and mix those things! It also saved me money from having to buy all of those extra things to mix with them to have to mask and cover up or distract or add other textures or flavors to make it more edible or palatable! However, it was too difficult to access and get out of the can though; there wasn' much space for my large round cracker(s) to dip into the tiny can to scoop it out like a spoon! Also, it was packed so firmly and tightly (or the texture of the tuna was too tough and firm) for my cracker to scoop out without breaking every single cracker with my every attempt! I feel like it was false advertising that on their package it states that it is so tender they you could cut this tuna with a breadstick! This was not my experience at all since all of my crackers broke which was frustrating because then there wasn' enough surface area on my crackers to place the chunks of tuna and it made a mess of crumbs from the breaking as well! It made it messier for my fingers to have to pick up or scoop with my fingers and because the smaller broken crackers caused less surface area so the oil had no where to go but drip down and touch my fingers which made my fingers an oily mess! (It’s a good idea to have napkins handy when eating these)! I was shocked & disappointed that there was no nutritional facts nor ingredients listed on the cans which was upsetting (and I think illegal?) because I wanted to refer to that info in writing my review and could not! I had to hunt down the particle board package to look up the info. It looks like it states that it is imported from Italy so maybe their laws about informing consumers of the ingredients and nutritional facts on the cans is different and more lenient. However, if imported here, I would think that they would still need to comply with our laws to be sold here! Therefore, I am puzzled by that and not happy about that. I like that there are only 3 ingredients and all natural (only tuna, olive oil and salt) and no chemicals and preservatives and junk. I like that they mention that they use sustainable fishing methods. I don' know if that is true or not, because I watched a documentary once that showed that a lot of “sustainable” companies actually were in fact not at all, but if they actually are sustainable then I think that is really cool. There is a part of me that thinks the small can size is fitting for a small snack or lunch at work or school, etc. but the other part of me and most of me actually thinks this can is WAY TOO SMALL especially for the EXORBITANTLY EXPENSIVE price which is approximately 3 times /triple the price of other cans of tuna but WAY SMALLER of a portion than other cans of tuna! (You pay MORE and for LESS product)! However, this is one of the MOST DELICIOUS things or tuna I’ve eaten, so maybe that’s why it costs more (“you get what you pay for”) because maybe it’s like a more gourmet version, species variety or body section of tuna or more of a gourmet way of cutting/chopping or processing it? Or maybe the other tunas are cheaper because they are packed with water which is cheaper? And maybe this is more expensive because it is packed with olive oil which is more expensive than water? Or maybe it costs more because of importing fees and shipping costs from another country? I don' know. I am ignorant when it comes to tuna but if you are looking for your next comfort food this might be it for you because I think it has become my new comfort food! I also like the convenience of how it might be a very quick and easy meal or snack or appetizer with this tuna on crackers! This would also be ideal for hot summer nights when it is too hot to cook but where you could still get some protein without heating up your house from cooking meat! You’d also be getting your bread group in with the crackers! This might also be ideal for a charcuterie board for guests for hospitality and might also be useful for those who are chronically ill and/are too overwhelmed and/or too busy to cook or wash dishes afterwards. I used a paper plate but am worried if I had used cheap plastic silverware to scoop out the tuna that it also might have broken like my crackers! If I might have to use a sturdier metal silverware to pry the firm tuna out, I would not be happy about that because that would mean more dishes for me to wash! In conclusion, there are many pros and cons to this product and thus, would depend on your priorities whether you would like this product or not and whether it would be a good fit for you or not.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a tuna-loving family, my boys were very excited to see a new type of tuna in our pantry. They couldn't wait to eat it and dove right into it, eating it straight out of the can. They really loved the Rio Mare Solid Light Wild Tuna in Olive Oil. It had fantastic smell, texture, and taste and the boys are begging for me to buy it again. For us, it will be a bit of a treat since it does have a higher price point than other tunas (because let me tell you, we can put away some tuna over here). But if you want real tuna, this is the stuff. Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting us try this tuna.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tuna is simply great! You can most definitely tell by the taste and flavor that being in olive oil makes tuna a million times better!! I've had a hard time finding any tuna made in olive oil, it's mostly just standard oil or water so I definitely appreciate this specific tuna! It's a bit on the pricey side, but the quality of this tuna and the amazing flavoring makes it so much worth the extra couple of dollars! I used these cans of tuna as a mid-afternoon snack on my lunch break, with some ritz crackers straight from the tin and it was perfect for that! I also used some of this tuna in a tuna salad mix for dinner for my family and everyone including my kids absolutely loved it! I'm very grateful that I was chosen to be one of the panelist to try this tuna brand in exchange for my honest review, because now this is most definitely going to be my go to brand! Believe me, you won't be disappointed that you spent the extra money. I've never had such great but light flavored tuna, with the perfect texture and saltiness!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Rio Mare Solid Light Wild Tuna in Olive Oil 4.2oz as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was delighted by the taste, the ease of opening, and the fact that I want to get more! This was a perfect lunch, and I loved that I can just bring the can, open it, and dive right in. Compared to other tuna, the taste is great, and it was the perfect size for lunch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to get the 3 pack tuna and seems to be the bang for your buck compared to other similar tuna products in my area. I love the classic packaging which stands out from the other brands as well. Iam definitely going to use these on the go for my lunch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been trying to eat more protein and tuna has become a regular snack and lunch option. The 3 pack cans were the perfect size. The tuna was delicately flavored, pink, and not overly processed. Definitely several steps above the packs I've been using. This is going to be a new staple for me.
