Artisanal conservas driven by a passion for excellence
For more than 30 years, Los Peperetes has upheld a family tradition guided by a single ambition: to create some of the world’s finest canned seafood.
Our story began in the heart of the Rías Baixas, in the fishing village of Carril, renowned as the birthplace of Galicia’s celebrated clam. It was here, in a former seafood restaurant transformed into a small production facility, that our philosophy first took shape.
Our founder, Jesús Lorenzo Crespo, heir to the first generation of Galician conserva artisans, recognised a unique opportunity: to honour the exceptional quality of the treasures found in our estuaries. And so, in 1991, he began hand-selecting and packing only the finest cockles and sardines arriving at the port — a commitment to excellence that continues to define Los Peperetes today.
Using a manual canning machine, he produced just 30 tins a day, delighting family and friends with the outstanding quality of his recipes. As demand quickly grew, he founded the Los Peperetes brand, and within just a few months, its conservas could already be found in some of the finest markets and restaurants in Madrid and Barcelona.
Today, his widow and children continue to lead the company, preserving the commitment to quality and craftsmanship that has defined Los Peperetes from the very beginning. At the same time, the brand continues to expand internationally, bringing the finest Galician seafood to new markets around the world.
Los Peperetes is now present in more than 30 countries and has collaborated with renowned figures such as José Andrés in the United States.
Fish Market Selection: The Origin of Exceptional Quality
Every day, at the fish markets of the Galician Rías, we carefully select only the finest fresh seafood from the Atlantic. Only specimens of exceptional size and freshness are chosen to become part of Los Peperetes conservas.
Artisanal Craftsmanship
At our workshop, patience, precision, and expertise guide every stage of a fully artisanal process. Each piece is handled with meticulous care to achieve the exceptional texture and quality that define every tin of Los Peperetes.
We honour the legacy of Galicia’s master canners by preserving the traditional techniques and methods that give true artisanal conservas their distinctive character.
Family Recipes Rooted in Galician Tradition
The final touch comes from our homemade sauces, inspired by family recipes passed down through generations. Prepared with natural, locally sourced ingredients, they are designed to enhance the authentic flavour of the sea while paying tribute to Galicia’s rich culinary heritage.
“Los Peperetes” is much more than just canned fish and seafood; it is the result of a meticulous, artisanal process that pays tribute to the richness of Galicia and its seas. Each can tells a story of hard work, dedication, and a love for the craft.
