Agujas, also known as Atlantic needlefish, are one of the hidden gems of the Galician conservas tradition. In this tin from Real Conservera Española, the fish are carefully selected for their size and freshness, offering a delicately textured and flavourful seafood experience that is both refined and distinctive.

Harvested from the cold Atlantic waters off the coast of Galicia, these slender fish are prized for their firm flesh and clean, slightly sweet flavour. Their elegant shape and naturally rich taste make them particularly well suited to traditional preservation methods that highlight the quality of the fish rather than mask it.

Once landed, the aguja are prepared following the meticulous standards that define Real Conservera Española. Each fish is cleaned and carefully arranged by hand in the tin to preserve its form and presentation. They are then covered in high-quality olive oil, which protects the fish while enhancing its natural flavour. The oil also allows the fish to gently mature in the tin, developing greater depth and harmony over time.

The result is a conserva with beautifully tender flesh, subtle richness, and a clean taste of the sea. The olive oil brings balance and smoothness without overpowering the delicate character of the fish.

Agujas are best enjoyed simply, allowing their quality to shine. Serve them on toasted bread with a squeeze of lemon, alongside olives and pickled vegetables, or as part of a traditional Spanish aperitivo spread. They also pair wonderfully with crisp white wines or a chilled glass of Albariño.

Elegant, traditional, and slightly unexpected, these aguja showcase the craftsmanship and seafood heritage of Real Conservera Española.

Meet Tinmonger’s Naked Sardines: a very special addition to Spanish Pig, created by our Canadian sister company and prepared in Galicia, Spain. This is a product close to our hearts, bringing our love of exceptional Spanish conservas into a tin that carries the Tinmonger name.

The name tells you what makes them different. Each sardine is carefully skinned and deboned by hand before being placed in olive oil. That patient preparation leaves tender, skinless, boneless sardines, ready to enjoy the moment you open the tin. It is skilled work that makes something beautifully simple feel special.

Expect delicate flesh, a savoury flavour and the rounded richness of olive oil. With the skin and bones removed, these sardines are especially easy to serve, whether you already love tinned fish or are discovering just how good Spanish conservas can be. The fish takes centre stage, with olive oil providing a gentle accompaniment.

Enjoy them straight from the tin with crusty bread, or lay them over warm toast with ripe tomato and a squeeze of lemon. They are equally lovely with a salad of white beans and parsley, alongside roasted peppers, or served with warm potatoes. For an effortless aperitivo, add olives, good crackers and a chilled glass of Albariño.

Produced in Spain and packaged for the Canadian market under Tinmonger’s own label, Naked Sardines bring together Spanish preparation and Canadian identity. As Tinmonger’s sister company, Spanish Pig is particularly proud to share them: a personal project, carefully developed, and one of the most meaningful tins we have added to our shelves.

Crisp and golden on the outside with a luxuriously creamy interior, these croquetas take inspiration from the iconic Spanish tapa that has been celebrated across Spain’s bars and kitchens for generations.

The blue cheese lends deep, tangy, savoury notes that pair beautifully with the slightly sweet, earthy character of the walnuts, creating a balanced and sophisticated taste.

From the producers

"This aromatic chocolate was made by soaking Kokoa Kamili cacao nibs in a Bulleit bourbon for 1 week. We then carefully dry the nibs before we begin grinding. We paired Kokoa Kamili nibs with Bulleit Bourbon because of their complimentary citrus notes. The Kokoa Kamili fermentary, located in the Kilimanjaro valley, purchases wet cacao beans from almost 3000 smallholder farmers, most of whom farm between 0.5-2 acres of cocoa. Prior to the founding of Kokoa Kamili the only cacao companies in the country were focused on buying large volumes of commodity cocoa for cheap, cheap, cheap. The result: Tanzania had one of the lowest GDP per capita rates in the world for rural cacao farmers."

Ñora peppers are a small, round variety of dried red pepper that hold a quietly essential place in Spanish cuisine, particularly along the Mediterranean coast. Left to mature fully on the plant before being sun-dried, they develop a deep crimson colour and a firm, almost leathery skin. Unlike many dried chillies, ñoras are not about heat. Their character lies in a gentle sweetness, a soft smokiness, and a rich, almost jam-like depth that builds slowly in the dish.

When rehydrated, the flesh becomes pliable and intensely aromatic, releasing flavours reminiscent of sun-ripened tomatoes, dried fruit, and a subtle roasted note. More often, the inner pulp is carefully scraped or blended into a paste, forming the backbone of many classic preparations. In dishes such as romesco sauce or arroz a banda, ñora peppers provide both colour and a rounded, mellow complexity that ties together garlic, olive oil, nuts, and seafood.

Their role is less about standing out and more about elevating everything around them. They bring warmth without aggression, richness without heaviness. This makes them incredibly versatile, whether infused into broths, folded into sauces, or used as a base for slow-cooked stews.

Ñora peppers are a reflection of traditional Spanish cooking at its best: simple ingredients treated with patience and respect, resulting in flavours that are layered, balanced, and deeply satisfying.

"The 2023 Zarate is the flagship Albariño that shows the character of the year, with more moderate ripeness, 12.5% alcohol and a balanced and elegant profile. It's clean, floral and still a little reductive (this is 100% stainless steel) and should open up with a little more time in bottle. There is some 30% of wine with malolactic in the final blend. It has less concentration and alcohol than the 2022, with more finesse and freshness and is a little more herbal. This is a superb example of Albariño from Salnés. 84,000 bottles produced. The bottle I tasted was bottled in June 2024. Drink Date: 2024-2029.” - 93+ points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, July 11, 2024

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.

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

Few sweets say Christmas in Spain quite like polvorones. Rich, crumbly and wonderfully delicate, these traditional Spanish almond cakes from Doña Jimena have the unmistakable melt-in-the-mouth texture that has made them a festive favourite for generations.

Polvorones take their name from the Spanish word polvo, meaning “dust” or “powder”—a reference to their famously fragile, crumbly texture. Take a bite and they practically dissolve in your mouth, releasing the warm, toasted flavour of almonds and a gentle sweetness.

Made in the traditional style with almonds and wheat flour, these little cakes are dense and rich without being overly sweet. Their distinctive texture sets them apart from an ordinary biscuit: tender, buttery and exceptionally crumbly, with the roasted almond flavour taking centre stage.

Doña Jimena is a renowned Spanish producer of traditional Christmas confectionery, particularly known for the sweets that fill Spanish tables throughout the festive season. Polvorones are among the most iconic. Alongside turrón and mantecados, they are an essential part of the assortment of sweets brought out after meals and offered to family and visitors throughout Christmas.

Enjoy them straight from the wrapper with coffee, tea, a glass of sweet Spanish wine or an after-dinner liqueur. And a little advice for first-timers: polvorones are supposed to crumble! Many Spaniards even gently squeeze the wrapped polvorón before opening it, compacting it slightly and making it easier to eat without wearing half of it.

Product highlights:
• Traditional Spanish polvorones
• Rich toasted-almond flavour
• Characteristically delicate, crumbly texture
• Melt-in-the-mouth consistency
• Made by Doña Jimena in Spain
• A classic Spanish Christmas sweet
• Perfect alongside coffee or as part of a festive dessert selection
• 200g

A wonderfully nostalgic taste of a Spanish Christmas: nutty, crumbly, rich and almost impossible to eat without leaving a few crumbs behind.

Güeyu Mar Chargrilled Smoked Sardine Tails in Extra Virgin Olive Oil showcase the extraordinary depth of flavour that can be achieved with a simple ingredient and masterful technique. Prepared in Asturias, northern Spain, these premium sardine tails are carefully selected before being cooked over a wood fire, capturing the distinctive character of Güeyu Mar’s celebrated seaside grill.

The chargrilling process gives the sardines a beautifully smoky aroma and a rich, savoury flavour, while gently crisping their exterior without compromising their tender, succulent texture. They are then packed by hand in high-quality extra virgin olive oil, which mellows the smokiness, keeps the fish moist and develops even greater complexity as it mingles with the natural juices of the sardines.

Each bite offers an enticing balance of clean ocean flavour, subtle wood smoke and fruity olive oil. The tails are especially prized for their firm, meaty texture and concentrated taste, making this an exceptional tin for anyone who appreciates conservas with real personality.

Serve them directly from the tin at room temperature, accompanied by crusty bread to soak up every drop of the smoky olive oil. They are also excellent with roasted peppers, tomato, pickled vegetables or a simple green salad. For an effortless tapas dish, arrange them on warm toast and finish with a squeeze of lemon.

At 5.3 oz, this generously sized tin is ideal for sharing—although sardine lovers may be reluctant to do so. A remarkable expression of traditional Spanish conservas elevated by live-fire cooking.
