Why You’ll Love This

Small, tender cockles deliver a bright taste of the sea with a subtle sweetness that makes them one of the most approachable Spanish conservas.

What Makes It Special

Known in Spain as berberechos, the cockles are gathered along the Atlantic coast and hand-packed in Galicia with only water and sea salt. The restrained brine preserves their plump texture and fresh marine flavor.

Perfect Pairings

Pair them with lemon, parsley, sherry vinegar, red onion, potato chips, crusty bread, Albariño, Txakoli, or a dry vermouth.

Serving Ideas

Chill the tin before opening, finish with lemon or a few drops of sherry vinegar, add to a seafood salad, or toss into pasta just before serving.
