For the most authentic flavor, use high-quality Italian tuna packed in olive oil. Be sure to drain it well to prevent a watery spread. Allow the butter to come to a true room temperature before blending; this ensures a smooth and homogenous mixture. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful kick. This spread is best served at room temperature. Avoid microwaving, as it can alter the texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
