Why The Stock Merchant

Hand filleted, hand packed

Whole fillets packed by hand in certified organic extra virgin olive oil, rather than machine shredded into a can.

MSC certified fisheries

The tuna and sardines carry Marine Stewardship Council certification, so the fishery behind the tin has been assessed for sustainable stocks.

Bronze die organic spelt

Certified organic spelt grown and milled in northern Italy, extruded through a bronze die so the surface holds sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions about The Stock Merchant

What does MSC certified mean?

The Marine Stewardship Council certifies fisheries against a standard covering stock levels, environmental impact and management. The blue MSC label on a tin means the fish in it can be traced back to a fishery assessed against that standard.

Why olive oil instead of brine or springwater?

Oil carries flavour and keeps the fish from drying out. Because this is certified organic extra virgin olive oil rather than a generic vegetable oil, the oil in the tin is worth keeping. Pour it over the pasta or into the dressing rather than down the sink.

What is bronze die extruded pasta?

The dough is pushed through a bronze die rather than a teflon one, which leaves a rough, chalky surface instead of a smooth glossy one. Sauce grips that rough surface rather than sliding off it.

What is spelt, and does it contain gluten?

Spelt is an ancient wheat, nuttier and earthier than durum, and higher in fibre. It does contain gluten, so it is not an option if you are avoiding it.

What is the difference between the tuna fillets and the tuna three pack?

The 120g tin holds whole fillets, which hold their shape on a plate. The three pack is three 80g tins of chunk tuna, which is the easier one for sandwiches, salads and lunchboxes.

Sardines, spicy or smoky?

Same Portuguese sardines in the same organic olive oil. Plain is the one to build on, spicy adds chilli, and smoky is cured over wood before it goes in the tin. Try one of each before you commit to a favourite.

How long does an opened tin keep?

Tip what is left into a covered container, refrigerate it, and use it within about two days. Do not store it in the open tin.

Where is it all made?

The fish is wild caught in the Atlantic and hand filleted and packed in Portugal. The spelt is grown and milled in northern Italy. The Stock Merchant is an Australian brand.
