Rosara’s chickpeas are one of their most celebrated pantry essentials, and it becomes clear why from the first taste. These large, premium chickpeas are selected for their exceptional quality and cooked slowly using traditional, artisanal methods. The result is an incredibly tender legume with a creamy interior, a skin so delicate it is barely noticeable, and a clean, natural flavour that tastes purely of the chickpea. Once you begin cooking with Rosara legumes, it is difficult to return to anything else.

Each jar reflects Rosara’s commitment to simplicity and craftsmanship. The chickpeas hold their shape beautifully while remaining soft and luxurious. The cooking liquid is a bonus. It is rich, savoury, and perfect for enriching soups, rice dishes, or stews. Because these legumes are so tender, they should be added to your dishes toward the end of cooking and handled gently. If you want to remove them from the jar more easily, warm the closed jar briefly in a bain marie.

These chickpeas adapt effortlessly to both rustic Spanish recipes and fresh, modern dishes.

Serving Suggestions

• Add to a traditional Spanish cocido or any hearty stew with chorizo and vegetables.
• Toss with roasted peppers, tuna, tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil for a vibrant chickpea salad.
• Warm gently with garlic, olive oil, and smoked paprika for a simple tapa.
• Combine with sautéed spinach for a classic Andalusian dish.
• Blend with tahini and lemon for a smooth, restaurant-quality hummus.
• Use the cooking liquid to add depth to soups or sauces.

These round white beans, known in Spain as “alubia manteca”, are one of Rosara’s most impressive examples of true artisanal legume craftsmanship. Each bean is cooked slowly and carefully so it becomes incredibly tender. The skin is barely noticeable, and the flavour is clean, pure, and deeply comforting. This is the kind of legume that transforms the simplest meal into something exceptional. Once you try Rosara’s beans, it is hard to go back to anything else.

Rosara prepares all their legumes using traditional methods, respecting the natural texture of the bean and adding nothing that distracts from its authentic taste. The result is a silky bean with a buttery mouthfeel, ideal for hearty stews, elegant tapas, or wholesome everyday cooking. Even the cooking liquid is valuable. It is rich, flavourful, and perfect for incorporating into soups and sautés.

These beans are delicate, so Rosara recommends handling them gently. Add them to your dish at the end of cooking and avoid excessive stirring. If you want to remove them from the jar more easily, warm the unopened jar briefly in a bain marie.

Serving Suggestions

• Add to a Spanish-style stew with chorizo, smoked paprika, and onion.
• Combine with grilled vegetables and olive oil for a warm bean salad.
• Serve with clams or mussels for a traditional northern Spanish dish.
• Mash lightly with garlic and olive oil as a creamy spread for toast.
• Use the cooking broth to enrich soups and sauces.

Rosara’s Escalivada is a beautiful expression of a classic Catalan dish, prepared with the care and honesty that define the best Spanish home cooking. This traditional recipe features tender roasted vegetables, cooked slowly in the oven until they become silky, sweet, and delicately smoky. Rosara uses only aubergine, piquillo peppers, onion, and a touch of olive oil. Nothing more. The result is a natural, wholesome dish with very low salt and only 6.3 percent fat, yet packed with flavour.

Each vegetable brings its own personality. The aubergine provides softness and depth, the piquillo peppers add gentle sweetness, and the onion offers a mellow richness. Together, they create a harmonious blend that feels both rustic and refined. Rosara’s commitment to quality is evident in every jar, using tender vegetables and roasting them to perfection before combining them in a simple, traditional marinade.

Escalivada is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed straight from the jar or incorporated into a wide range of dishes. It is ideal for tapas, light lunches, and elegant entertaining.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve chilled or at room temperature with crusty bread and a drizzle of Spanish extra virgin olive oil.
• Warm gently in a pan or oven and pair with Cantabrian anchovies, black olives, or melted cheese.
• Use as a colourful side dish for grilled fish, roast chicken, or Iberico pork.
• Add fresh oregano or marjoram for a fragrant Mediterranean touch.
• Layer on toast with goat cheese for a simple but impressive tapa.

Pimientos del Cristal are one of Navarra’s most treasured delicacies, named for their extraordinary thinness that makes them almost translucent, like crystal. Grown in the fertile Ebro Valley and roasted over beech wood, these peppers embody the height of artisanal Spanish conservas. Their preparation is entirely manual. Because the flesh is so delicate, each pepper must be carefully cleaned and peeled by hand, a slow and meticulous process that results in exceptional texture and purity of flavour.

The reward is a silky, sweet, and never spicy pepper with remarkable finesse. Their natural sweetness and gentle smokiness make them stand out among all roasted peppers. Rosara’s dedication to traditional methods and small batch production ensures that every jar captures the essence of this regional specialty at its finest.

These peppers are incredibly versatile and elevate even the simplest dishes. They can serve as a star ingredient in tapas, accompany grilled meats or fish, or bring a luxurious touch to everyday meals.

Serving Suggestions

• Warm slowly in a pan with a generous pour of extra virgin olive oil for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with fried eggs for one of Navarra’s most beloved combinations.
• Add thin slices of garlic while heating for extra depth and aroma.
• Enjoy chilled with high quality extra virgin olive oil as a simple antipasto.
• Use as a gourmet garnish for grilled fish, white meats, foie gras, cheeses, or jamón.
• Incorporate into tapas, pintxos, or vegetable platters for elegant colour and sweetness.

Real Conservera Española’s Albacore Tuna Ventresca in Olive Oil (Costera Edition) is one of the most exquisite tuna conservas you can buy — a true benchmark of Spanish seafood craftsmanship. Produced only during the peak costera season, when albacore reach their ideal fat and flavour, this limited edition reflects the meticulous standards that have made Real Conservera one of Spain’s most respected canneries since 1920.

Ventresca, the delicate belly cut, is prized for its buttery texture and naturally rich, almost silky mouthfeel. Unlike many commercial brands that can be dry or overly packed, Real Conservera hand-selects each fillet, arranges them gently by hand, and preserves them in fine olive oil that enhances rather than masks the fish’s pristine flavour. The result is astonishingly tender tuna with layered notes of sweetness, ocean freshness, and a luxurious finish that lingers.

This is the kind of conserva chefs reach for — refined, elegant, and deeply satisfying. Compared to other tuna on the market, the Costera Edition stands out for its texture, its purity, and its unmistakable small-batch quality.

Serving suggestion:
Serve the ventresca as-is with nothing more than thinly sliced tomatoes, flaky salt, olive oil, and good bread. Or break gently over warm potatoes with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley.

Real Conservera Española’s puntillas en su tinta (tiny squid in ink) are a masterpiece of Galician conservas craftsmanship. Founded in 1920, this storied cannery has spent more than a century elevating simple seafood into something extraordinary, and this tin is one of the clearest examples of why they stand apart from almost every other producer in Spain. While many canneries opt for speed and volume, Real Conservera remains firmly committed to small-batch excellence, meticulous hand-cleaning, and sourcing only the highest-quality squid from the cold waters of the Rías Baixas. The difference shows immediately.

Each bite is tender, silky, and full of depth — never rubbery, never overly salty, and beautifully infused with that rich, almost creamy black ink. These puntillas are, quite honestly, among the best I have ever tasted and a tin I recommend without hesitation. Compared to more commercial brands, this is finer, more delicate, more sophisticated. A true treat for anyone who loves real Spanish conservas.

Serving suggestion:
Warm the squid gently in their ink and spoon over toasted blackbird bread rubbed with a touch of garlic. Finish with a drizzle of good olive oil and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Serve alongside plain white rice or grilled vegetables to let the ink sauce shine.

Real Conservera Española’s scallops in brine showcase why this Galician cannery is considered one of the true jewels of Spain’s conservas world. Founded in 1920, the company has spent over a century perfecting the art of preserving seafood with an unwavering commitment to tradition, quality, and hand-crafted care. While many canneries focus on volume, Real Conservera stands apart for its meticulous selection process, small-batch production, and insistence on using only the finest raw product from the Rías Baixas. The result is a tin that feels more like a delicacy than a pantry staple.

These scallops—delicately tender, naturally sweet, and bathed in a clean, lightly salted brine—capture the pure flavour of Galicia’s cold Atlantic waters. There’s no heavy seasoning, no distractions: just beautifully preserved marisco at its peak. Compared with more commercial brands, Real Conservera’s approach is slower, more artisanal, and noticeably superior on the palate. It’s the kind of tin chefs reach for when they want guaranteed excellence.

Serving suggestion:

Drain the scallops and serve them chilled over thinly sliced cucumbers, a drizzle of top-quality olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Add a few Marcona almonds on the side and pair with a crisp Albariño for a simple, elegant, restaurant-worthy plate.

Eklipse 2020 by Bodegas Itsasmendi is a bold, elegant red from Bizkaiko Txakolina in Spain’s Basque Country, a region normally celebrated for its bright whites. A thoughtful blend of Hondarrabi Beltza, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc, the grapes grow with a steady Atlantic influence that gives the wine a distinct mineral spine and lively acidity. Fermented in stainless steel and matured for ten months in large French oak vats, Eklipse 2020 balances red cherry and wild strawberry with floral hints of violet and faint cocoa and spice notes. The palate is silky but structured, with soft tannins and a long, fresh finish that leaves a subtle bitter chocolate echo.

Full disclosure I love this wine so much I have to stop myself from stealing it from my own shop. It is the sort of bottle that makes you smile at the shelf, the sort you want for every guest and for a quiet night at home.

Serve Eklipse 2020 with grilled tuna, roasted vegetables, earthy mushroom dishes or gently spiced meats. It is a refreshing and distinctive red that showcases modern Basque viticulture, elegant without being showy and quietly unforgettable.
