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.

Ramón Peña’s Large Mussels (8/10 pieces, 110g) are a true delicacy from the Galician coast, hand-harvested from the nutrient-rich estuaries of northwest Spain and prepared with the care and expertise that defines the brand’s Gold Series. These plump, juicy mussels are selected for their exceptional size and quality—only 8 to 10 make it into each tin, a testament to their impressive stature.

After harvesting, the mussels are lightly steamed to preserve their natural brininess and firm, meaty texture. They're then hand-packed in a rich escabeche sauce made from olive oil, vinegar, paprika, and spices—a traditional Galician marinade that brings out the mussels’ sweet, oceanic flavour with a smoky, tangy finish.

Each tin is a ready-to-serve gourmet experience. Enjoy them on their own, with a chilled Albariño, or spooned over warm toast for a quick and luxurious tapa. Their bold, vibrant flavour also pairs beautifully with simple rice dishes or roasted vegetables.

These mussels are sourced from the best locations in the Galician estuaries, where they find the optimal food. They are hand-selected to ensure the finest specimens, which are then meticulously cleaned by hand and steamed. After steaming, they are thoroughly cleaned again to remove any fibers or biso and are then sorted by size.

Next, they are dehydrated to remove excess water, preventing any deterioration of the sauce and ensuring a perfect texture and unique bouquet. The placement and packaging are done manually, adding a gentle and distinctive marinade made from traditional recipes and olive oil to enhance the mussel's flavor. Special care is taken during the final cooking process to ensure even time and temperature.

Ingredients: Mussels, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and spices.
