This house works exclusively with the fish markets of O Freixo and Testal, where the world's best cockles are landed, and it does so without prior freezing: caught and taken straight to the cannery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003ePacked beak upwards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the detail that sets this tin apart from any other. The cockles are not tipped in: they are placed by hand, one by one, in rows and with the beak facing upwards. The work is done by the so-called \u003ci\u003edamas de la conserva\u003c\/i\u003e, and it is an almost extinct craft that adds nothing to the flavour but says everything about the care taken over the rest of the process. You notice it the moment you open the tin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurged in seawater\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore packing, the cockles are purged in seawater, where they release their sand naturally, and are then steamed open in seawater too. It is the slow process that avoids the one defect that ruins any tin of cockles, and the one industrial brands cut short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon't pour away the liquor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe broth around the cockles is the purified seawater they were cooked in, with the house's own touch. It tastes as good as the shellfish itself, so tip the whole tin onto the plate. Many cooks keep it to lift a rice dish or a sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe 30\/35 grade\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween thirty and thirty-five pieces in an RO-120 tin. It is the most balanced grade in the range: good-sized cockles, meaty and tender, in enough quantity to share without rationing. The lower grades — 20\/25 or 15\/20 — hold larger pieces and fewer of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to serve\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCockles are the exception to the room-temperature rule: they are better served cool, between 10 and 12 ºC. Put the tin in the fridge twenty minutes beforehand, tip it onto a plate with all its liquor and pour a cold albariño. A squeeze of lemon if you like, though cockles this good do not need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients: cockle (\u003ci\u003eCerastoderma edule\u003c\/i\u003e), water and salt.\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Ría de Noia (O Freixo and Testal), Galicia\u003cbr\u003eFormat: RO-120 · Pieces: 30\/35 · Net weight: 113 g · Drained weight: 68 g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens: contains molluscs.
