Hacendado Light Tuna in Olive Oil

Hacendado Light Tuna (Atún Claro) in Olive Oil is a staple product of the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona. The product shown is the 400g glass jar format, which is highly popular in Spain for its quality presentation.

While the tuna itself is sourced from various international fishing grounds (often FAO zones in the Atlantic, Pacific, or Indian Oceans), the final processing and canning are primarily managed by specialized Spanish suppliers. The Jealsa fishing group, particularly through its subsidiary Escurís, is the main manufacturer for Mercadona's Hacendado tuna line, operating large facilities in Boiro, Galicia, Spain.

As a private label, the Hacendado brand is owned entirely by Mercadona S.A. The company follows a 'Totaler' supplier model, where it partners with specific manufacturers to produce high-quality goods under its own brand name. Mercadona remains a family-owned Spanish company, with the Roig family holding the majority of shares.
