The highest graded cuts are selected and then cleaned and cooked in the traditional way before being preserved in beautiful Spanish olive oil.  Story: The story of Los Peperetes began in 1990 (hi, young millennial!) when founder Jesus Lorenzo began tinning local Galician sardines and cockles, starting with just 20-30 cans per day! His goal was to elevate the status of canned seafood which at that point, was still not considered to be much more than simple table fare. 30 years later, Los Peperetes is still family operated and continues to maintain its original philosophy of producing top quality tinned seafood with the most exquisite products from the Galician Rías. All of their beautiful tins are still cooked in small batches and packed by hand.  ‘Peperets’ is a word of Galician origin that evokes something pleasant, appetizing, desirable, tasty, and different. All you need to do is pop a tin for the true definition of Los Peperetes to reveal itself to you and your taste buds.
