Nostromo Trancetti di Tonno all'Olio di Oliva

Nostromo is a historic brand with deep Italian roots, originally founded in 1951 in Grado, Italy, by Mario Pedol. Over the decades, it became a household name in the Italian market, synonymous with quality canned seafood. In 1993, the brand underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by the Spanish multinational Calvo Group (now known as Nauterra).

Today, while Nostromo maintains its Italian identity and its headquarters in Modena, it is part of a global supply chain. The specific product shown—tuna chunks in olive oil—is packaged in 'pouch' format to save space and reduce environmental impact. The packaging explicitly identifies that it was produced in authorized establishment No. 49 in El Salvador. This facility is a major strategic hub for the parent company, allowing it to process fish caught in the Pacific and export high-quality products directly to European and Mediterranean markets. The brand remains the second-largest player in the Italian tuna industry, operating under the ultimate ownership of Nauterra (formerly Grupo Calvo), headquartered in Spain.
