Cambados Gourmet Heart Cockles are among the most prized treasures to come from the Galician coast. Harvested by hand from pristine tidal estuaries, these tiny jewels are selected for their purity, firmness, and exceptional flavour. Each tin represents the highest standard of Spanish canning tradition, where only the most delicate and perfectly sized cockles make the cut. Lightly preserved in their own brine, they carry a clean, fresh taste of the sea with a natural sweetness that sets them apart from ordinary conservas. The texture is tender yet pleasantly taut, offering a bite that feels both luxurious and effortless.

What makes Cambados heart cockles so special is the meticulous artisan process. Every step is done carefully to protect their natural beauty. They are a favourite among seafood lovers who appreciate finesse and subtlety rather than intensity.

Serving suggestion

Serve well chilled, straight from the tin, on a chilled plate. Add a touch of freshly squeezed lemon, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, and pair with thin slices of good crusty bread. For a true Galician experience, enjoy them with a crisp Albariño. They also shine as the star topping of a simple seafood salad.

Ingredients: Cockles (30-40 per tin), water and salt. 100% Natural. No additives or preservatives

Weight: 111g metal tin.

“Conservas de Cambados” is based in Galicia in Northeast Spain. This is the region of the Arousa Ría, which is well-known not just for its size, but also for the richness of its marine life. This area is particularly suitable for harvesting clams, cockles, mussels, and other bi-valves. The Spanish believe canned seafood is a delicacy to be shared and enjoyed! They take great pride, and great care, to harvest the best seafood and package it with the utmost care. The result is the purest, most delicate, and exquisite tasting seafood on the planet! A true delicacy.

Across Spain it is a tradition to offer canned seafood as a delicacy at restaurants and bars. Great care is taken to prepare and package this delectable seafood in perfect condition, so that when you open a tin you are experiencing the true flavor of fresh seafood. The seas off the coast of Galicia in Northwest Spain are cool and rich in nutrients, making them an incredible fishing ground. “Conservas de Cambados” is located close to one of Spain’s largest Rías (estuaries), known as the 'Ría de Arousa'. Their facilities are very close to where the seafood is harvested, so they are able to use the freshest squid and shellfish available.

In Spain canned seafood has long been served in restaurants, bars and in the home as a gourmet dish. Cockles, or Berberechos, are small edible salt water clams that are handpicked along the coast of the Galician region in northwestern Spain. The process of hand picking ensures that only the best in size and quality are used. Careful attention is paid to processing & packaging so that you are able to enjoy a beautiful tin of shellfish in its sweet fresh salt water from the Rias Gallegas in your own home. The Berberechos are ready to eat right from the can, no cooking necessary. Peel back the lid and serve with small tapas items such as Jamón Serrano, almonds, and crusty bread.

Acorn & Grain: A Hand-Carved Ibérico Ham Tasting Experience

Discover what makes Spain’s celebrated jamón so captivating with two beautifully contrasting expressions of Ibérico ham. Acorn & Grain brings together the depth of Extrem Puro Ibérico’s acorn-fed Bellota and the gentle sweetness of grain-fed Cebo, ready to arrange, share and savour. It is an inviting introduction for curious food lovers and a rewarding tasting experience for anyone who already appreciates exceptional Spanish charcuterie.

Your selection includes:

• 100g Extrem Puro Ibérico 100% Ibérico de Bellota ham, hand-carved.
• 100g 50% Ibérico de Cebo ham, hand-carved.

Why Extrem Bellota deserves centre stage. This remarkable ham begins with purebred Ibérico pigs raised free-range in the oak-studded dehesa of Extremadura. During the autumn and winter montanera, they forage on acorns and natural pasture. That combination of breed, landscape and seasonal feeding helps create the rich flavour and delicate marbling that make Bellota such a prized delicacy.

Extrem’s care extends from breeding and rearing through to patient, natural curing. Time develops an extraordinary depth of aroma: toasted-nut notes, savoury richness and a long, lingering finish. Thin, hand-carved slices bring together tender lean meat and silky fat, allowing the flavour to unfold as the ham warms on the palate. This is jamón to enjoy slowly, one small slice at a time.

The Cebo offers a delicious contrast. Made from pigs of 50% Ibérico breeding fed a grain-based diet, it has a rounder, milder character, gentle sweetness and a pleasingly tender bite. Taste it first, then move to the Bellota to appreciate how feeding, breeding and curing shape each ham’s personality.

Arrange the slices loosely on separate plates and allow them to approach room temperature before serving. Add Picos Camperos for a crisp contrast and pour a glass of Spanish wine for an effortless tapas evening.

Total ham weight: 200g. Picos Camperos and tableware pictured are serving suggestions and are not included; picos can be purchased separately.

Firm, tasty, tiny sardines (Sardinillas), hand-packed in Spicy oil - possibly as near as you can get to fresh sardines without buying them off the beach! Serve as a tapas dish or in a 'bocadillo' - a sandwich made using crusty bread - and perhaps some garlic mayonnaise.

From the Estuaries of Galicia, Spain, comes the most wonderful small sardines in spicy sunflower oil we have ever tried. This is a true Spanish food gem and we are very pleased to be able to offer it to you. Rich in vitamins D and B12, they are also an excellent source of calcium and omega-3 fatty acids. The Spanish believe canned seafood is a delicacy to be shared and enjoyed! They take great pride, and great care, to harvest the best seafood and package it with the utmost care. The result is the purest, most delicate, and exquisite tasting seafood on the planet! A true delicacy.

Do not be fooled by other sardines. “Conservas de Cambados” makes a "Gourmet" line, which is their highest quality. "Gourmet" is clearly at the top of the front label as shown in the photo, the "Conservas de Cambados" logo is prominently displayed, and the tin is rectangular with rounded corners. The seas off the coast of Galicia in Northwest Spain are cool and rich in nutrients, making them an incredible fishing ground. Their facilities are very close to where the seafood is harvested, so they are able to use the freshest fish and shellfish available.

We have never tried a sardine more delicate and mild than those of Galicia. They are harvested in small batches from the cool waters of the Rias, tidal rivers in north western Spain. The result is a tender, mild sardine, with the delicate taste of the sea but without any strong fishy flavors.

Origin: Spain

Ingredients: Small sardines, sunflower oil, cayenne and salt.

Allergy advice: contains fish.

111g - 115 gram metal tin

Garrotxa is an artisanal goat milk cheese produced in the Garrotxa region of Catlonia., Spain. With a minimum 2 months of maturing, it resuts in a smooth, slightly salty, creamy texture. We fell in love with it at Spanish Pig on our first bite. 

This cheese was almost extinct by the early 1980s, thankfully it has been revived by  young cheesemakers and goat farmers' cooperatives in its birthplace of Garrotxa.

A pasteurized semi soft cheese, traditionally made from the milk of Murciana goats and aged in caves to enhance mold development and the resulting flavor.

Bogar Squid Pieces in Tomato Sauce bring the comforting flavours of Spanish seafood cooking to an easy, ready-to-serve conserva. Tender pieces of squid sit in a mild tomato sauce with onion and spices, creating a satisfying balance of delicate seafood flavour, gentle sweetness and savoury depth.

The tomato gives the sauce a rounded, mellow character, while onion and a touch of seasoning complement the squid. Sunflower oil adds richness, helping the sauce coat each piece. It is an approachable choice for anyone discovering squid conservas, as well as a handy pantry staple for those who already enjoy them.

Serve straight from the tin at room temperature as a simple tapa, with crusty bread to soak up every spoonful of sauce. Add olives, roasted piquillo peppers and a few other conservas for a relaxed Spanish spread that takes just minutes to put together.

For a more substantial meal, warm the contents gently in a pan and spoon over white rice, boiled potatoes or couscous. You can also toss the squid and sauce through pasta, finishing with chopped parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Keep the preparation simple so the seafood and tomato remain the focus.

At Spanish Pig, we love a conserva that works equally well as a quick snack and as the starting point for lunch. This Bogar tin offers both, with plenty of sauce worth enjoying to the very last bite.

Ingredients: Squid, sunflower oil, tomato, water, onion, salt, spices.

A true Spanish Christmas classic, Turrón de Jijona is the wonderfully soft, creamy counterpart to the crunchy turrón of Alicante. Made by AntiuXixona in Jijona (Xixona), Alicante—the historic heartland of Spanish turrón—this traditional sweet is all about the rich, unmistakable flavour of toasted almonds.

Unlike hard turrón, Jijona is made by finely grinding toasted almonds together with honey and sugar until they release their natural oils, creating its characteristic soft, almost melt-in-the-mouth texture. The result is intensely nutty and aromatic, with the sweetness of honey balancing the deep roasted flavour of the almonds.

This turrón carries the Jijona DOP (Protected Designation of Origin), which protects both its geographical origin and its traditional method of production. Genuine Turrón de Jijona must be produced within the designated area around Jijona in Alicante and meet the standards established for this celebrated Spanish confection.

AntiuXixona is one of the best-known names associated with traditional turrón production in Jijona, continuing a confectionery tradition that has made this small Alicante town synonymous with turrón throughout Spain.

Traditionally enjoyed during Christmas and the festive season, Turrón de Jijona is served simply: cut into small pieces and shared after a meal alongside coffee, cava, sweet wine or a glass of brandy. Its rich almond flavour also makes it excellent crumbled over ice cream or incorporated into desserts.

Product highlights:
• Authentic Turrón de Jijona from Alicante, Spain
• DOP Jijona protected designation
• Traditional soft and creamy turrón blando
• Rich toasted-almond and honey flavour
• Smooth, delicate, melt-in-the-mouth texture
• A quintessential Spanish Christmas tradition
• Produced by AntiuXixona
• 150g

For anyone who grew up with Spanish Christmas traditions, this is a taste of the holidays. For those discovering turrón for the first time, Jijona is an excellent place to start—rich, almondy, beautifully soft and unmistakably Spanish.

La Curiosa Tuna Belly with Pesto is a luxurious and innovative conserva that brings together the rich, velvety texture of ventresca de atún—the most tender, flavourful cut of the tuna—with a vibrant green pesto that adds a fresh, herbaceous twist. The result is a beautifully balanced tin where land and sea meet in perfect harmony.

Each piece of tuna belly is hand-selected and packed with care, ensuring its buttery texture and clean, oceanic flavour remain intact. The pesto, made with fragrant basil, garlic, and a touch of cheese and olive oil, wraps the tuna in a creamy, aromatic coating that enhances rather than masks the fish’s delicate richness. It’s bold but refined, and entirely unexpected.

Enjoy it straight from the tin with crusty bread, flaked over pasta or warm potatoes, or paired with a chilled glass of white wine—think Albariño or a light Godello. It also makes a show-stopping component in a gourmet salad.

La Curiosa Tuna Belly with Pesto is a testament to the brand’s creativity and craftsmanship. It’s a conserva that feels both indulgent and fresh—an elegant Mediterranean mash-up that delivers something truly unique with every bite.

Galician cuisine offers a mouth-watering selection of fresh fish and seafood specialties renowned in Spain and around the rest of the world. Percebes or goose barnacles are the hidden gem of Spanish seafood.

Percebes are highly coveted in Spain and regarded as a luxury due to the very real and significant risk faced by anyone attempting to gather them from the lower parts of the jagged, violently sea - battered cliff walls, and rocks, off the north Galician Costa da Morte (coast of death) and along certain rocky parts the coast of Asturias. The thumb-sized crustaceans live attached to these rocks spending much time submerged beneath the sea, tasting of the sea and undoubtedly even more sought after, luxurious and highly valued than oysters in Spain.

The name goose barnacle comes from the time before our much greater understanding and knowledge about bird migration, when it was believed that barnacle geese actually developed from the crustaceans as if they were eggs. Hence the English name of Goose barnacles.

Percebes collectors or Percebeiros, wait for the particularly low tides that come after a full or new moon during the winter months, which allows the collectors the opportunity to lower themselves down the sides of the cliffs with ropes, chopping the goose barnacles off the hazardous, treacherously slippery rocks whilst a trustworthy companion above,on the higher grounds, shouts the warning of any dangerous, incoming waves.

The best goose barnacles are the Galician ones. Those found on the southwestern coast of Portugal, Morocco and Canada (these specifically are particularly less palatable) are regarded as inferior in quality. The wilder and more ferocious the sea and the more exposed the rocks are to the heavy tides, the meatier, thicker, tastier and also more expensive the goose barnacles that live here are. The goose barnacles we stock at Spanish Pig, Percebes Los Peperetes, are from Galicia and are widely considered to be the very best of seafood and shellfish, canned and preserved delicacies in the world.

In Spain percebes are lightly and briefly boiled in brine. The diamond-shaped foot is squeezed and the inner tube is pulled out of the scaly case, the claw is removed and the remaining flesh is eaten. Although not the most attractive food in the world nor the most easy to eat when absolutely fresh, they are certainly among the most prized and desired delicacies in the world. When canned, percebes are easier to eat because they are prepared and ready to eat.

We love them served directly from the can, with a glass of cold white wine.

Ingredients: Barnacles and Brine

The presa is from the shoulder of the pig, a part of the loin where it meets the shoulder blades. It is a thick cut, with a proportional, balanced marbling of fat that gives this piece its unique texture. The exterior can be seared on all sides for 10-15 minutes and the meat then be left to rest in a low oven for around a quarter of an hour to produce a tender, flavoursome meat.

A good size piece ideal for the barbecue over an open flame or grill. One piece is suitable for 3-4 people as a main course.
