Plump orange mussels from the coast of Galicia are a favorite in tapas bars across Spain. Conservas de Cambados captures the fresh taste and tenderness of just-cooked mussels in their canned gourmet mejillones. Open and serve with fresh bread and a glass of Albariño wine.
Freshly harvested mussels are lightly fried in olive oil and covered with a vinegar and paprika marinade called 'escabeche' that adds a little zing to their flavor.
In Galicia, mussels are cultivated on giant rafts where they are suspended in the cool, nutrient rich water of the Rías – tidal estuaries famous for their bountiful seafood. Only the freshest mussels are chosen to be prepared by Conservas de Cambados, and each tin is packed by hand.
Conservas de Cambados is located close to one of Spain’s largest Rías (estuaries), known as the Ría de Arousa. Their facilities are just a few miles from where the seafood is harvested, so they are able to source the freshest fish, squid and shellfish available.
