I’ve always used Ayam Brand Tuna in water chunks for my sandwiches and pasta.

However, I was checking the entire range out and noticed they also have them in Olive Oil and Sunflower Oil.

Curiously, the drained weight for all 3 seems to be roughly the same, at around 110g.

And interestingly, the price is also exactly the same.

1. How come the price is same, shouldn’t the olive oil version be the most expensive?

2. I usually drain the water from my tuna. If I am making pasta for example, can I use the olive oil in the cooking instead of draining it out?

3. What are the different use cases for the tuna in oil?

4. Is there any taste or health differences between the tuna in water vs tuna in oil?

1. I guess unless they just use anyhow quality olive oil.

2. Not recommended, from personal experience.

3. Probably personal preference, because I grew up hating the smell of canned tuna until I was introduced to tuna in olive oil. Amazing with kewpie for a nice tuna sandwich.

4. I cannot speak for this as I only had the one in oil.

2. Not recommended

Why?
