Real Conservera Española Fried Mussels in Escabeche – Selección 1920

Real Conservera Española is regarded as one of Spain’s most exceptional conserva houses, consistently ranked among the world’s finest for its dedication to craftsmanship, sustainable sourcing, and the extraordinary flavour of its seafood. Their Selección 1920 line represents the pinnacle of their work, and these Fried Mussels in Escabeche are a perfect example of why the brand is so revered.

Made exclusively with Galician Mytilus galloprovincialis mussels from the Rías, each piece is sourced at peak season when the meat is plump, flavourful, and naturally rich. The mussels are first cooked, then lightly fried in olive oil to intensify their aroma and deepen their texture. They are finally marinated in a refined escabeche, a traditional Spanish sauce that balances vinegar, paprika, and spices to create a bright, savoury, incredibly moreish result.

The Selección 1920 edition highlights only the finest calibre of mussels, hand-packed with precision to preserve their structure and the integrity of the marinade. The result is a delicacy that tastes both luxurious and deeply traditional.

Tasting Note
Firm, juicy mussels with a warm copper hue. Balanced acidity from the escabeche, a gentle smokiness from the frying, and a lingering savoury finish.

Ingredients
Mussels, olive oil, escabeche marinade (vinegar, spices), salt.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve on warm potatoes with paprika and olive oil.
