ART, GASTRONOMY AND SUSTAINABILITY
IN OUR CANS
The theme of this initiative is the conservation of the environment which nurtres us: the Galician Estuaries, in the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. Here is where all of our raw materials come from, with which we make our products that now also trascend into the artistic realm.
Giving back to our community is very important to us. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to local fishermen’s guilds, whose daily effort is a fundamental part of the canning industry.
HOW IT WAS DONE
This artistic project combines culture and gastronomy through the lens of environmental sustainability.
The fourteen, top-of-the-line, world-renowed spanish artists who participated in the project, have created different artworks for our “premium cans”.
Each artist has made ten unique pieces of art that will encase the best of our gourmet canned seafood.
EXPOSITION
The project was presented at ARCOmadrid 2022, followed by a showcase at our headquarters in Cambados, where one art piece of each artist is permanently displayed. The calendar of acts includes several events in both national and international destinations as well as charity events.
