1. Canned food Agromar, delicatessen from the Cantabrian sea

Located in the coastal town of Gijon, AGROMAR is a small company whose principal activity is the manufacture of selected canned seafood delicatessen. Agromar also has a second brand, ARBEYAL, dedicated to the production of cooked traditional dishes and pates of the Asturian regional cuisine. Agromar experience goes back more than 50 years ago in the sector of canned food. With flavors that today represent a major reference in the market, both nationally and internationally, Agromar specializes in high quality "gourmet" food.

2. The origin of canned food Agromar

Throughout his entire career, Agromar with over 50 years of experience, continues to offer high quality products and precooked canned dishes. It was in 1948 when the trajectory and long-haul of Agromar starts, particularly when Armando Barrio Mata, born in Gijon, comes up with the packaging roe sea urchin and at that time this product was very abundant in the Asturian masons and beaches.

The commercial potential of the product were out of the idea of Armando Barrio, initially intended for home consumption and as gifts. However, the success of the product reached the market and began his career and business development.


Previously, back in 1920, Armando's father also had contact with canned, and that by that time there were many small canneries along the Cantabrian coast. Armando himself manufactured and marketed salted fish, perhaps the most handmade of the canned.

In 1968, Armando registered the brand and 21 years after arise what we now know as AGROMAR, a young, innovative corporation.

3. Experience, evolution and craftwork canned

Thanks to the products the Cantabrian coast offers, Agromar enjoys the finest and best raw material for the manufacture of its products.

The factory, located along the coast, is committed to the tradition and respect for the nature.

The success of the typical Asturian cuisine contributes to the rapid growth of the company, consolidating a strong presence at regional level and largely explains what AGROMAR represents today.

Pioneer one more time, AGROMAR transferred famous and renowned dishes from the regional cuisine.

For the first time, Asturian people not have the chance to enjoy pre cooked flavorful dishes tradition and dedication; lifelong recipes that recall old times. The fully craftsmanship allows us to enjoy a mouthful of the wild sea, virgin and abrupt as it is the Cantabrian coast.

4. Where do the canned come 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.
