Conservas Ramon Pena is a premier producer of fine canned seafood. Ramon Pena ties up tradition, flavor, and quality to offer an exclusive product with the best fish and seafood. Galician Rias is a privileged area, located on the West side of mainland Europe, where climate and the purity of their waters make these Rias a unique place for traditional local fishery and selfish culture of high gastronomic value. Our Cockles come exclusively from the Noia estuary, in A Coru¤a, the place where the best cockles of the world are obtained. It is a bivalve mollusk that lives in salty waters and belongs to the family Cardiidae. They are buried in soft bottoms of fine sand and are located from the coastal strip to depths of 10 meters. Recognized for their flavor and texture, they are rigorously selected and purified before opening them to steamed in seawater. Our cockles are perfectly placed by hand and bathed in the so-called government liquid (a combination of their own juices and the purified seawater in which they have been cooked) that must never be discarded. After several washing, the cockles are carefully placed in each can and covered with water. And a touch of salt to enhance the natural flavor of the cockles. No additives or preservatives.
