Century Tuna Flakes Caldereta Style 180g

Century Tuna Caldereta Style, a Rich Filipino Spiced Sauce in a Ready-to-Heat Tin

Caldereta is one of the boldest dishes in the Filipino kitchen. Traditionally a slow-cooked meat stew with a thick, well-spiced sauce, it sits in a different flavour territory from the milder afritada or the tangy mechado. Century Tuna, the Philippines' leading canned tuna brand, has brought that assertive caldereta character to a 180g tin of tuna flakes, giving you a ready-to-heat version of one of the country's most loved comfort foods. The caldereta style sauce is richer and more intensely seasoned than everyday canned fish options, which makes this tin one of the more interesting variants in the Century Tuna recipe range. The existing page describes Century Tuna as a classic, healthy and indulgent product, and the caldereta style delivers on that promise in its own distinct way. If you enjoy Filipino cooking with real depth of flavour, this tin earns a regular place in your cupboard.

How to Serve Century Tuna Caldereta Style for a Satisfying Filipino-Inspired Meal

The simplest and most satisfying approach is to heat the tin through in a small pan and serve over a bowl of steamed rice, letting the thick caldereta-style sauce coat the grains. The flavour is rich enough to carry the meal on its own without any extra seasoning needed. For a more developed dish, fry off finely diced onion and garlic until soft, then add the tuna and stir well, letting everything heat together for a few minutes. A pinch of chilli flakes or a dash of hot sauce brings additional heat if you like it spicy. The sauce also works well spooned over thick noodles instead of rice, where it clings satisfyingly to the strands. Stock up on fragrant white rice as the natural partner for this tin, and pick up Asian noodles if you prefer a noodle base. A look through our Asian spices and seasonings will help you customise the heat and seasoning to your taste.
