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.

The Lladró Golden Pig Tray is where fine Spanish craftsmanship meets playful elegance—and it just so happens to bear a striking resemblance to the Spanish Pig himself. Handmade in Valencia by the world-renowned Lladró atelier, this porcelain tray is crowned by a gleaming 24-karat gold pig: a symbol of abundance, celebration, and tongue-in-cheek luxury.

More than just décor, it’s a design piece that pays homage to Spain’s culinary heritage—making it the perfect companion to the finest jamón. And fittingly, this exclusive piece is available only through Spanish Pig, the sole Canadian stockist of both the tray and Extrem—one of the most prestigious ham producers in all of Spain (if not the best). This makes the Golden Pig Tray not just a statement of style, but a collector’s item with real gastronomic pedigree.

Whether you use it to present charcutería, to serve guests, or simply to admire, the minimalist matte tray contrasts beautifully with the reflective gold pig perched atop it—bold yet refined, classic yet cheeky. It's equally at home on a dining table, bar cart, or display shelf.

This is luxury with personality: a celebration of Spanish food, craftsmanship, and flair—brought to Canada with exclusivity and passion by Spanish Pig. Pair it with a plate of Extrem Jamón Ibérico de Bellota and you have not just a snack, but a centrepiece.

Limited availability. For those who appreciate the finer (and more fabulous) things in life.
