We take pride in preserving the traditional recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation in our company, ensuring that our products maintain their roots.

What makes Real Conservera Española sardines unique and special?

Real Conservera Española sardines are known for their unique flavor and texture, as well as their freshness. They are caught from May to December in the vicinity of the coastline in the area between the Galician Rias and the Atlantic Ocean. The fishing is sustainable and done in a traditional way at the best time of the day, just at dawn, to ensure their unique flavor and freshness.

Once captured, the sardines are taken to our facilities in Cambados, where with over a century of experience in producing fish and seafood conservas, we make high-quality gourmet products. The artisanal cleaning and packaging techniques used ensure that each can of sardines is full of flavor and nutrition. The manufacturing process includes careful hand cleaning, gutting, washing, and the addition of a touch of brine. Afterwards, they are grilled with olive oil and carefully selected before being hand-packed with 15% extra virgin olive oil.

The result is unique sardines that have earned international prestige and are one of the emblems of the Real Conservera Española brand.

The commitment to quality by Real Conservera Española ensures that each can is a truly special experience, making it one of the best gourmet preserves in the current market.

How the artisanal process guarantees the quality of each can of sardines

From the moment the fish is caught to when it is carefully transformed into gourmet preserves, every step of the process is carried out with precision and care. This ensures that each can contains only the freshest seafood available. The artisanal process also guarantees that no preservatives or chemicals are used at any point in the production.

Because each step is carried out manually, attention to detail and dedication in every task ensures greater precision and quality in the final result. For example, the cleaning and evisceration of the sardines are done by hand, which results in a more careful and detailed inspection of each fish before processing. In addition, the hand-packing process in olive oil ensures that each can contains the best-selected sardines and that they are evenly distributed in the can.

The artisanal process also allows Real Conservera Española to control the ingredients and techniques used at each step, ensuring the freshness and purity of the products. Finally, the use of high-quality olive oil in the toasting process of the sardines adds a subtle and unique flavor to the canned products.
