Mojama de Atún Cabecillas
Mojama de Atún Cabecillas is a traditional Spanish salted and air-dried tuna, made from the neck and head cuts of the tuna. Unlike the classic Mojama Extra, which uses fillets from the back, Cabecillas is crafted from meat with a richer and slightly fattier texture, resulting in a softer, juicier bite while still maintaining a firm structure.
This exclusive seafood delicacy is a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, with preparation methods dating back centuries. During the drying process, the tuna’s natural umami is concentrated, creating an intense, full-bodied flavor balanced by a lightly salty, silky texture.
Why choose Mojama de Atún Cabecillas?
• Made from tuna neck and head cuts for a softer, juicier texture
• Traditionally salted and air-dried for deep, concentrated flavor
• A rich source of protein and omega-3, supporting a healthy diet
• An exclusive and rarer version of mojama, offering a distinct taste and texture compared to classic fillet cuts
How to serve?
Slice very thinly and drizzle with high-quality olive oil to highlight its unique flavor. Excellent with fresh tomato, roasted almonds, and capers. Enjoy on a tapas board, in salads, or with a touch of lemon juice. Perfectly pairs with Spanish fino sherry, dry white wine, or cava.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dry place. Once sliced, cover tightly or store under olive oil to preserve moisture and texture. Consume within 7 days after opening.
