Artisan Production and Heritage

Conservas Catalina is a family company founded in 1999. Over the years, it has developed a range of selected premium products crafted by the expert hands of the women of Santoña, preserving traditional know-how.

Each spring, the factory begins its busiest period, purchasing fish at local fishermen’s auctions before starting a delicate and careful processing stage.

Production is limited and handmade, carried out only during the fishing season. The traditional hook-and-line method ensures each tuna is caught individually, preventing damage to the flesh and maintaining optimal texture and flavour.

This ancestral technique (trolling) respects marine ecosystems and seabeds while guaranteeing superior quality.
