The list includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Flott Tuna<\/b>:  two types of the legendary Flott brand, one in a jar, one in a can.  Now I can compare the two directly and see what sort of difference the packaging makes.<\/li>\n<li><b>Ventresca<\/b>:  this is the &#8220;underbelly&#8221; of the fish, considered a delicacy.  Two different brands compete on this front, one labeling itself as containing &#8220;tuna breasts&#8221; of Bonito del Norte, a type of white tuna.<\/li>\n<li><b>Olives stuffed with tuna<\/b>:  two of my favorite foods collide!  &#8220;You got your tuna in my olive&#8230;&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>Salt-cured tuna loin<\/b>:  a slab of expensive ventresca-cut tuna, cured much like bacon.  It&#8217;s best sliced thinly over toast points, drizzled with olive oil.  The best description I can come up with is &#8220;tuna prosciutto&#8221;, and you can see it served on the plate in the picture.<\/li>\n<li><b>Tuna caviar<\/b>:  dried tuna eggs, ready to sprinkle over salads and pasta.
