Our Preserved Seafood

The preserves industry has been and continues to be today a staple in the Spanish economy.  Thanks to the knowledge of an old art applied with the modern technologies of the future, canned foods such as Los Peperetes have become an important gourmet alternative in a world that is more sensible to the subjects of safety, health and nutrition. Canned foods are protected from the sun light, oxidation and at the right room temperature, can retain their vitamins and nutritional value for at least three years, in addition to not needing refrigeration.

 In a recent study by the Department of Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois, it was demonstrated that preserved fruits and vegetables contain the same amount of fiber and vitamins than their fresh equivalents and in some cases, even more. The produce and seafood destined to be preserved is harvested at the right time and processed within a few hours, as it is the case with our clams, cockles, sardines and others.This way their nutritional value can be preserved until you open the can to enjoy them.  In fact, in the process of canning our preserves many nutrients are trapped and locked up, some of which might have been lost if left exposed.  In addition, tinned preserves manufacturers are put under the strictest quality controls and regulations.

The Value of Preserves and their use

The nutritional value of preserved seafood is well known around the world for its high protein, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins.  It simply represents one of the most important nutritional resources of the population.
In addition to the natural fatty acids found in our preserved seafood, many of these gourmet specialties are prepared and preserved in extra virgin olive oil; another staple of good health and nutritional value.

Needless to say the consumption of these preserved delicacies is not only a gourmet pleasure but is also a very convenient way to entertain friends or to have a delicious, nutritious and healthy meal.

Our gastronomical offers take into consideration all  the elements of a balanced and healthy diet:  olive oil,  seafood preserves,fruits and vegetables and others.
