Description
Alalunga Mackerel in Olive Oil is sourced from the Cantabrian Sea and preserved to maintain the integrity of the fish. This selection represents a commitment to sourcing high-quality tinned seafood from the north of Spain.
Craft & Origin
Alalunga processes fresh mackerel caught in the Cantabrian Sea during the spring season when quality is at its peak. The fish are prepared by hand in Cantabria using traditional methods to ensure the texture remains firm and intact. By working directly with local fleets, the makers secure the best catch and process it immediately to preserve the natural character without additives. The use of olive oil acts as a subtle preservative that respects the profile of the mackerel.

How to Use
Serve on toasted sourdough with pickled onions or incorporate into a fresh pasta dish.
