Alamar Small Mussels in Marinade are a benchmark of Galician conservas craftsmanship, prepared with precision and deep respect for the raw ingredient. Harvested from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of northwest Spain, these small mussels are prized for their tender texture and naturally intense flavour. Their size is intentional. Smaller mussels absorb the marinade more evenly, creating a balanced and harmonious bite every time.
Once carefully cleaned and cooked, the mussels are preserved in a traditional escabeche-style marinade made with high-quality olive oil, vinegar, paprika, and spices. The result is vibrant but restrained. Tangy, gently spiced, and never overpowering, the marinade enhances the sweetness of the mussels rather than masking it.
This is a tin that works beautifully straight from the can, served slightly chilled with toothpicks and good bread to catch every drop of sauce. They also shine alongside roasted peppers, potato chips, or a simple tomato salad. For something more elevated, pair them with a crisp white wine or a dry vermouth and let the acidity do the work.
Refined, expressive, and unmistakably Galician, Alamar Small Mussels in Marinade are a reminder that simplicity, when done properly, is more than enough.
