Discover Authentic Spanish Seafood: New Gourmet Additions at The Spanish Food Store
Bringing centuries of Cantabrian and Galician craftsmanship straight to your American table
At The Spanish Food Store, we believe that true gourmet experiences shouldn’t require a plane ticket. That is why we are thrilled to announce our latest collection: six exceptional new seafood products from two of Spain’s most legendary, time-honored producers: Conservas Ortiz and Ramón Peña.
In the United States, appreciation for authentic Spanish canned seafood (*conservas*) has grown
immensely. Discerning food lovers have discovered that premium tinned fish is not just a quick bite—it is
a masterclass in coastal culinary heritage, sustainability, and unmatched flavor.
Legendary Producers: Tradition and Excellence
Conservas Ortiz: Coastal Mastery Since 1891
Founded in the Basque Country, Conservas Ortiz is a household name synonymous with
uncompromising quality. Generations of the Ortiz family have honored traditional, artisanal fishing
methods—such as using pole and line for their white tuna (*Bonito del Norte*). Every fish is handled with
meticulous care, packed by hand, and rested in high-quality olive oil to mature gracefully.
Ramón Peña: The Gold Standard of Galicia
Hailing from the pristine waters of Galicia, Ramón Peña represents the pinnacle of premium seafood
canning. Famous for their rigorous selection process, they source only the finest mollusks and fish during
their optimal seasons, preserving them in exquisite escabeches and authentic Galician sauces.
Meet the New Additions to Our Seafood Lineup
1. Ramón Peña Gold Line Pickled Mussels (Large): Plump, tender mussels harvested from the
Galician rías, carefully selected and preserved in a rich, traditional pickled sauce.
2. Ortiz Sardines in Olive Oil (a La Antigua): Traditional preparation capturing rich flavors, delicate
textures, and deep heritage in every bite.
3. Ortiz White Tuna in Olive Oil (“Bonito del Norte”): The crown jewel of tunas, known for its pristine
white flesh, tender texture, and delicate flavor.
4. Ramón Peña Plata Line Pickled Mussels (12-16 Pieces): A magnificent balance of sea flavor and
aromatic escabeche spices in a more intimate size.
5. Ortiz Anchovies in Olive Oil: Expertly hand-cleaned and cured, offering a savory, melt-in-your-mouth
experience that elevates any appetizer.
6. Ortiz Ventresca de Bonito del Norte: The prized belly cut of the white tuna, exceptionally juicy and
flaky, preserved in pure olive oil.
How to Enjoy Them: Serving Suggestions & Pairings
These gourmet conservas are versatile stars that can turn a simple weeknight dinner or a weekend
gathering into a celebration.
The Anchoa Secret: While artisanal commercial anchovies like Ortiz are phenomenal—delivering a
perfect balance of salt and umami—there is always a special place in our hearts for homemade
preparations crafted with family love. My dad (Pepe Caro) makes some amazing homemade ones! Just ask my nephew Javi—he loves them! But it’s still impossible to import them to the United States, at least for now. To showcase these anchovies at their best, try pairing them over a chilled, velvety bowl of traditional Salmorejo (Cordovan tomato and bread puree), or draped simply over artisan toast with a generous drizzle of premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
The Ultimate Tapas Board: Pair your new seafood selections with crunchy picos and roscos, briny
Spanish olives, and vibrant “banderillas“. Finish everything with a generous splash (“chorro”) of high-end
olive oil to tie all the flavors together in true Spanish style.
