Madrid, June 27, 2025 – Nauterra, a global food company specializing in canned fish and seafood, has been recognized by Actualidad Económica’s ‘100 Best Ideas of the Year’ Awards in the Food & Beverages category for its Calvo Natural Light Tuna +Pro. This natural, additive-free product stands out for its high protein content—offering 24 grams per 100 grams, compared to the market average of 18 grams—and has been specially developed for consumers seeking a balanced diet
“We are very proud of this recognition, which strengthens our firm commitment to healthy eating as a cornerstone of our promise to consumers. Calvo Natural Light Tuna +Pro is a clear example of how we respond to new market needs with healthy solutions that preserve the best of nature. At Nauterra, we see continuous innovation as a key driver of growth that enables us to anticipate trends, set the pace, and remain at the forefront—always staying true to our essence and the values that define us,” said Jorge Alonso, Marketing Director at Nauterra.
Marketed under the Calvo brand, this launch addresses one of today’s leading food industry trends: the surge in protein consumption. In Spain, 94% of households consume protein an average of ten times per week. Moreover, proteins feature in 80% of home-cooked recipes, and 42% of consumers consider them the primary component of their diet. This growing interest has driven a 22% increase in protein product consumption in the past year alone.
In this context, Calvo Natural Light Tuna +Pro stands out as a distinctive option within its category—designed not only for athletes, but for anyone seeking a healthy lifestyle and looking to support muscle development or maintenance thanks to its high protein content. Made from carefully selected tuna loins and formulated to boost its protein content by 50% compared to standard natural light tuna, it delivers a superior nutritional profile: 24 grams of protein per 100 grams net, versus the market average of 18 grams. In addition to its high protein contribution, it is low in fat, making it an ideal choice for those mindful of their diet and looking to recover after physical activity while maintaining muscle mass.
Actualidad Económica’s awards honor the most innovative initiatives across sectors, with the goal of driving business growth and boosting job creation. The 2025 ‘100 Best Ideas of the Year’ awards ceremony took place on June 27, celebrating the most outstanding companies in each field.
