We recently sampled and reviewed Bono Sicilian Orange Organic Marmalade and loved it. In addition to citrus-fruit marmalades and table olives, Bono is also the largest producer of authentic extra virgin olive oil in Sicily. The family-owned business, started in 1934, is headquartered in Sciacca, Sicily in the Val Di Mazara region.

This recipe for Tuna Crudo with Preserved Lemon and Avocado Basil Mousse uses both the Orange Marmalade and Bono Extra Virgin Olive Oil products. The dish was created by Chef Giuliano Matarese, chef/owner of Mille Lire, an Italian sensation in the Oak Lawn neighborhood of Dallas, Texas.
