NEW YORK, March 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Balfegó presented yesterday at La Nacional a Kaitai Show for representatives of the culinary industry, international and local chefs and culinary media in New York City. Renowned chefs such as José Andrés, attended this spectacle. Balfegó's mission is to catch, ranch, study and sell Bluefin tuna, under a sustainable corporate social responsibility system that ensures the continuity of the species.
Balfegó's initiative aims to raise awareness of the importance of the processes they develop in order to safeguard Bluefin tuna. The kaitai show presented by Balfegó provided data on the morphology and life habits of this king of the seas, in addition to information on the system that allows Balfegó to certify that each piece of tuna has been captured according to regulation. This system ensures the continuity of the species and proves that Balfegó acts within the frame of international organization-assigned quotas.
Manel Balfegó co-President Chairman, attended the kaitai-show with Nobuyuki Tajiri, the renowned Japanese master tuna cutter. Mr. Tajiri is renowned in the industry as the most experienced tuna master in Spain.
