Rio Mare Tonno al Naturale

Brand Origin and History

Rio Mare is Italy's leading brand of canned tuna, founded in the 1960s by the Italian company Trinity Alimentari (now Bolton Food). It was originally established to provide high-quality, reliable tuna in olive oil, but has since expanded its range to include various brine and specialized seafood products geared toward health-conscious consumers.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

The product is primarily manufactured in the Bolton Food factory located in Cermenate, Italy, which is one of the largest and most advanced tuna processing facilities in Europe. While the primary transformation occurs in Italy, the raw tuna is sourced globally from sustainably managed fisheries across various oceans to ensure year-round supply and ecological responsibility.

Ownership and Global Presence

Rio Mare is owned by the Bolton Group, a major Italian multinational conglomerate. The Bolton Group is a privately held company that manages a vast portfolio of brands in the food, home care, personal care, and beauty sectors. The brand maintains a strong presence in the European and international markets, often distributed via local Bolton subsidiaries in various countries.
