April 1, 2022Alelma – Alonissos
Mr. Anagnostou, a fish merchant and Mrs. Kalogianni a specialist in the recipes of Tuna products, joined forces and formed Alelma, a company which focuses on a single commodity; Alonissos’ Tuna. Alonissos Tuna, which has been fished since ancient times on the island, is a unique product which has been recently gaining the reputation it deserves mainly due to its rich flavour, which characterizes the Aegean White Tuna especially. The couple built a family business and now the youngest members are slowly starting to have an active role as well, adding new recipes like the Tuna belly with rosemary, which is one of the newest additions to the 11 different Tuna products this company offers.
The people behind Alelma want you to taste the difference between the mass-produced tuna products and what they have to offer. It is truly a different experience all together from what we all have in mind when thinking of preserved tuna products and thus, words cannot even describe it. In addition, there are no preservatives whatsoever, when it comes to Alelma’s products apart from the oil or the water they are preserved in.
Last but surely not least, the most fascinating fact about Alelma’s tuna products is that they are completely free of heavy metals, a common fear amongst consumers when it comes to Tuna and other bigger fish. This makes it suitable even for pregnant women and these claims are of course all based on chemical analyses and certifications. Alonissos Tuna is the only one you can enjoy without even a hint of fear!
Alelma makes sure it respects the ecosystem of their tuna and fishes under strict protocols to prevent overfishing. As a company which promotes Aegean products, we could not be happier to have in our network Alelma, with its pure and authentic products coming straight out of the Aegean sea!
