A century of Galician canning: buy Ramón Peña preserves

The Peña name has been linked to Galician canning since the early 19th century, and in 1920 the family opened its first factory. Today Ramón Peña is still family-run, in O Salnés, working with shellfish from the Galician rías and fish from the Cantabrian Sea, prepared by hand. It is the sister house of La Brújula. If you want to buy Ramón Peña preserves, here is one of their most complete selections.

Two lines

Besides their classic range, Ramón Peña has the Línea Plata (Silver Line), with selected pieces of razor clams, baby squid, octopus, albacore and garfish.
