Cambados Gourmet Heart Cockles are among the most prized treasures to come from the Galician coast. Harvested by hand from pristine tidal estuaries, these tiny jewels are selected for their purity, firmness, and exceptional flavour. Each tin represents the highest standard of Spanish canning tradition, where only the most delicate and perfectly sized cockles make the cut. Lightly preserved in their own brine, they carry a clean, fresh taste of the sea with a natural sweetness that sets them apart from ordinary conservas. The texture is tender yet pleasantly taut, offering a bite that feels both luxurious and effortless.

What makes Cambados heart cockles so special is the meticulous artisan process. Every step is done carefully to protect their natural beauty. They are a favourite among seafood lovers who appreciate finesse and subtlety rather than intensity.

Across Spain it is a tradition to offer canned seafood as a delicacy at restaurants and bars. Great care is taken to prepare and package this delectable seafood in perfect condition, so that when you open a tin you are experiencing the true flavor of fresh seafood. The seas off the coast of Galicia in Northwest Spain are cool and rich in nutrients, making them an incredible fishing ground. “Conservas de Cambados” is located close to one of Spain’s largest Rías (estuaries), known as the 'Ría de Arousa'. Their facilities are very close to where the seafood is harvested, so they are able to use the freshest squid and shellfish available.

In Spain canned seafood has long been served in restaurants, bars and in the home as a gourmet dish. Cockles, or Berberechos, are small edible salt water clams that are handpicked along the coast of the Galician region in northwestern Spain. The process of hand picking ensures that only the best in size and quality are used. Careful attention is paid to processing & packaging so that you are able to enjoy a beautiful tin of shellfish in its sweet fresh salt water from the Rias Gallegas in your own home. The Berberechos are ready to eat right from the can, no cooking necessary. Peel back the lid and serve with small tapas items such as Jamón Serrano, almonds, and crusty bread.
