Production, Maturation & Packaging

The pâté is prepared using the artisanal methods inherited from the first cannery founded in Matosinhos in 1896 by Joaquim Ferreira Pedro Luças, a pioneer of Portuguese fish preserves. The tuna is carefully selected and processed with olive oil, tomato, vinegar, piri-piri, spices and salt, with no additives or preservatives. It is packaged in a 75 g tin to ensure freshness, flavour and optimal preservation.

History & Origin

Matosinhos is a region with a rich cultural and maritime heritage. Traditionally agricultural due to the fertile lands around the Leça River, its history is closely tied to Jacobean devotion, the Camino de Santiago and Atlantic trade routes. In 1896, the first local fish cannery was founded here, giving rise to a brand that would go on to produce over 100,000 boxes per year using traditional methods, earning the trust of distinguished clients such as the Clube Naval Setubalense.
