1. Ramón Peña, delights of the Atlantic Galicia

 

In Cambados (Galicia), aound 1920, it was established small fish and shellfish canning factory. Years later, this factory became one of the most important in Galicia. The key point of success was the quality commitment, holding it as fundamental of the philosophy of the company after three generations.

The selection of the raw material is thorough, the best fish and sellfish, as far as the selection of the ingredients. With a craftwork and fidelity in the exclusive and original recipes, with care and dedication, and with over 90 years of experience.

2. The key to success: tradition and craftwork

During the whole production process, Ramón Peña has special care with the traditional elaboration, mime in the manufacture and specialization. With special treatment for its customers, trying to create culture in the world of canning, make them understand the origin of the product, transformation and evolution to the final result: "The can and its contents."

3. Where are the canning coming from?

This very peculiar fact of cooking food and vacuum packaging them was the brainchild of a Frenchman, under Napoleon, who promised a prize to anyone who will help preserve food.

This young French cooker, Nicolás Appert, he began to experiment and observe that boiled food more than 80 degrees without being exposed to air, lasted longer without being spoiling.

The tinplate was invented by an Englishman whose name was Peter Durand.

In Spain we met the canning food because of a French ship, that was shipwrecked in the Costa da Morte. The following year there were a cannery in Galicia.

The fish canning are all a classic in Spanish grastronomy. Every year, a Spanish person eats more than 4Kg. The most consumed product is the mussel, specially in scallop sauce and brine sauce.

4. The production process of the Ramón Peña canning

The first step to prepare the canning food, is to clean the sellfish and cook it, after it is fried, as it is the traditional method. Each piece is cleaned manually and with meticulous care,  classifying by size.

The sauce in which are preserved contains basic ingredients that enhance their flavor. For example, for the brine sauce, the base ingredients are pepper, bay leaf and cloves, with all this elements, a sauté and it is added paprika, no preservatives or coloring, all the ingredients are natural.

When it comes to packaging, first you pour a base with the sauce, then the mussels and the can is filled with a brine sauce. The brine sauce is decanted for 24 hours, made through a traditional process (two parts of red oil, one part of water and one part of vinegar).

Later, the cans are sealed and sterilized. After the last step, the cans go to the factory, to be packed in boxes and give them entry into the market for subsequent tasting.
