Production and Craftsmanship

Inspired by the tradition of the first cannery founded in Matosinhos in 1896 by Joaquim Ferreira Pedro Luças, these squid are carefully cleaned and stuffed with rice before being cooked in a Mediterranean sauce with onion, tomato and spices. The process follows classic canning philosophy: no additives or preservatives, preserving the natural flavour and texture.

The product comes in a 115 g can, a practical format that ensures optimal preservation and allows you to enjoy a ready-to-serve seafood dish in minutes.

History and Origin

The Atlantic canning tradition developed around areas such as Matosinhos, known for their connection to fishing, the Camino de Santiago and maritime trade. Since the late 19th century, Iberian canneries perfected techniques to preserve fish and seafood with maximum quality, producing tens of thousands of boxes each year while maintaining manual processes.

These stuffed squid are produced in Spain (European Union), within this same Mediterranean and Atlantic canning culture, combining traditional recipes with modern quality standards.
