Los Peperetes Mussels in Marinade (Mejillones en escabeche) are a shining example of Galicia’s rich conserva tradition—plump, flavourful mussels from the Rías Gallegas, expertly preserved in a zesty, well-balanced escabeche marinade. These aren’t your everyday mussels; they’re a delicacy, carefully selected for size and quality, then hand-packed to preserve both their texture and their natural character.
Harvested from the cold, clean waters of north-west Spain, the mussels are steamed open before being gently bathed in a house-made escabeche—a classic Spanish marinade of olive oil, wine vinegar, paprika, garlic, and bay leaf. The result is a rich, tangy, slightly smoky dressing that enhances the sweetness of the mussels without overpowering them. Each bite is tender, juicy, and deeply satisfying.
What truly sets Los Peperetes apart is their artisanal approach: every tin is prepared in small batches, with great attention to detail and a commitment to preserving traditional Galician methods. It’s this dedication to quality that has earned the brand numerous awards over the years, and their mussels are consistently praised as some of the best tinned seafood available.
Enjoy these straight from the tin with a few slices of crusty bread to mop up the marinade, or serve as part of a tapas spread alongside olives, cured meats, and Spanish cheeses. They’re also brilliant tossed into a simple salad or served on warm potatoes with a drizzle of the escabeche.
Elegant yet robust, Los Peperetes Mussels in Marinade are a must-try for anyone looking to explore the world of premium conservas. Whether you’re new to Spanish tinned seafood or already a devoted fan, this tin delivers big flavour, beautiful craftsmanship, and a taste of the Galician coast in every bite.
