Auriga Tuna in Nino Castiglione Olive Oil

Auriga Nino Castiglione tuna, worked by local Sicilian workers.

The company Nino Castiglione was born in Sicily in 1933 by Nino Castiglione in a small factory in Trapani. Soon the business moves to an ancient trap overlooking the sea. We are in the era in which there are many traps in the area and the fishing and processing of tuna are already part of the culture of the place: the tuna fishermen, local workers who grew up fishing for bluefin tuna from the Mediterranean, lower their nets according to complex but environmentally friendly systems, criteria that safeguard small fish and reduce incidental fishing of other species. It is here that the Castiglione family, thanks to the wisdom of tradition and the passion for the sea, begins to work the tuna. The great professionalism and tireless dedication make the business grow constantly: to the historic site, recovered leaving the original plant unchanged, new warehouses and factories, modern cold rooms, production plants and cutting-edge packaging lines, sophisticated laboratories quality control. Today that ancient trap has become an accredited reality in the world, capable of combining modernity and tradition, passion and technology, where we operate on an industrial level but according to the principles of the past, respecting the sea and the tradition of fishing.
