StarKist E.V.O.O. Solid Yellowfin Tuna with Basil Pesto is a ready-to-eat, premium canned tuna in cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, delivering a Mediterranean-inspired flavor straight from the can.

This 12-pack of 4.5 oz cans features hand-selected wild-caught Yellowfin tuna fillets gently preserved in extra virgin olive oil and seasoned with vibrant basil pesto.

How can I incorporate this flavored tuna into recipes without overpowering other ingredients?
