Cambados Heart Cockles

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.
