As early as Prehistory, open-air drying was used to preserve the meat of hunted animals and the plants and roots they gathered. In Antiquity, the Egyptians developed the first salting and smoking techniques. Later, it was discovered that ingredients like honey, sugar, vinegar, fat, or oil helped keep food in good condition, which led to jams, escabeches, and pickles.

He's crazy about preserves, but of course it runs in the family. His mother worked in a cannery for more than 15 years, so you can imagine there was always a tin on the table at home. When passion for something combines with an entrepreneurial streak, there's no turning back. He has youth to spare and is eager to do things right — to bring freshness to an overly conservative sector and to innovate. Innovation in gastronomy is very important to attract new generations. He offers a preserve of the highest quality, to suit the tastes of the most exquisite palates. They produce their preserves with ingredients from the Galician Rías and make their sauces following traditional recipes using only natural ingredients and no additives. Made in an artisanal way, with careful canning and hand packaging. They select and place each piece in the tin to guarantee the best presentation at the moment of tasting. As Cristóbal says, "They want to take tins out of the pantry and turn them into delicious gifts."

A. REVILLA®. Their Cantabrian anchovies belong to the species Engraulis encrasicolus, caught in the fishing grounds of the Cantabrian Sea during the spring fishing season. They are among the tastiest and most prized on the market. After capture, cleaning and maturation in salt (between 10 and 15 months), they are artisanally prepared with the highest-quality raw materials at our factory in Santoña (Cantabria). The M. A. REVILLA® brand is committed to contributing 2% of its profits to charitable causes in Cantabria, specifically to the Hijas de la Caridad (Daughters of Charity), who help feed those most in need in Cantabria. So, with these wonderful anchovies, on the one hand you'll enjoy an exquisite delicacy, and on the other you'll be contributing to a good cause.

The brand Conservera de Tarifa is today the most traditional and artisanal fish canning company in the province of Cádiz. They have combined knowledge, experience and excellence while maintaining the traditional family spirit that, generation after generation for more than 100 years, has preserved the craft and dedication to fish canning. Their commitment to an artisanal production process and to handling fish entirely by hand implies more jobs and longer production times. However, it guarantees the excellence and purity of the product. For us, as a family company that also values quality and products made with care and tradition, partnering with them allows us to share Mediterranean tuna, melva (frigate tuna), and mackerel with the world.
