Los Peperetes Squid in Ink (Calamares en su tinta) is a rich, deeply flavourful conserva that brings one of Spain’s most iconic seafood dishes straight to your table. Made using tender baby squid sourced from the Galician coast, each tin is a masterclass in traditional craftsmanship and bold, honest flavour.
The squid are carefully cleaned and cooked in their own ink, along with onion, tomato, olive oil, wine, and spices—creating a luxurious, jet-black sauce that’s earthy, briny, and packed with umami. The texture of the squid is wonderfully soft without being rubbery, and the ink sauce is savoury and complex, with just the right balance of sea and spice.
Prepared in small batches, Peperetes follows time-honoured methods to ensure the integrity and flavour of every ingredient. Each tin is hand-packed with attention to detail, making this not just a convenient pantry staple but a genuinely special product. It’s the kind of conserva that speaks to Spain’s culinary heritage—bold, comforting, and deeply satisfying.
Enjoy this straight from the tin with crusty bread to soak up the inky sauce, or gently warmed and served over rice, pasta, or even creamy polenta. It also makes an excellent base for a quick seafood stew or a luxurious twist on squid ink risotto.
For those seeking something truly distinctive, Los Peperetes Squid in Ink delivers a taste of the sea that’s rich, robust, and unmistakably Galician. It’s not just a tin of squid—it’s a bite of coastal Spain, steeped in tradition and packed with soul.
