If I'm not
mistaken, these three tunas in olive oil are not new. I think it's only the packaging
that's new.
If and when I eat canned tuna I normally go for the tuna in water so the Starkist Mini Tuna in Olive Oil with Lemon that I tasted was new to me. I really enjoyed it. I liked the touch of lemon and I thought the olive oil added a nice flavor as well.
These new
tins are very convenient for taking to the office for lunch or on a picnic
outing. They come with a hard plastic cap for reclosing the tin once its been
opened. This new cap worked really well for me.
It also has
a mini plastic fork attached to the inside of the cap. I had a very difficult
time actually eating with the mini fork. Maybe small children would be able to
use it but I think it's more of a gimmick than a real and usable utensil.
Part of
Starkist's intention with this product is to help people who are looking for
easy convenient ways to stay on their food plan or diet. Each tin is a 99
calorie portion. I thought the amount of tuna in the tin was the perfect
portion size for me.
Bottom Line:
I enjoyed the Starkist Tuna in Olive Oil with Lemon. I also really liked that I
could re-close the tin with the new hard plastic cover. I thought the portion
size was convenient but I'm not sure that the high price is worth the extra
convenience.
95 gram (net weight) re-closable tin – 5.79 NIS
(I got them at
Mega Bul 2 for 10.00 NIS)
