CONSERVERA DE TARIFA is the result of the union of various artisan factories of the oldest fish preserves in oil in Tarifa, (a small town in the Andalucía region of Spain). The main ones were La Tarifeña S.L., Marina Real S.A. and Piñero y Díaz. The first was founded in 1910.
We can proudly say that we are the most traditional and artisanal fish cannery in the province of Cadiz.
In 2013 with the launch of our newest brand CONSERVERA DE TARIFA we’ve started our international expansion in two key markets, the United States and Europe. CONSERVERA DE TARIFA is consumed in many countries from France to the United States. Wherever it is found, the unmistakable flavor of traditional canned fish from Tarifa is a delight to all, both near and far.
Our canned goods are prepared in an ENTIRELY ARTISAN PROCESS AND ARE CHEMICAL FREE.
The fish are skinned and later canned ENTIRELY BY HAND in order to retain their organoleptic properties. We rely only on the ability and skill of our workers.
We maintain strict control and traceability on our canned products at all times. The cans undergo a sterilization process through a combination of temperature, pressure and time, which results in the absence of biological contamination and the ability to recommend consumption within FIVE YEARS.
We continue to use only TRADITIONAL MANUFACTURING METHODS. The stages of this process are the same as they were more than a century ago.
We own the IPG (Protected Geographical Indication) mark and Certified Quality Symbol of the Andalusian Council.
Our firm is among the canning industry companies endorsed by the Regulatory Board for the PGIs Mackerel and Bullet Tuna of Andalusia. This guarantees respect for fishing techniques as well as the QUALITY AND SIZE OF THE SPECIES USED in the manufacture of our prized canned goods.
Conservera de Tarifa is committed to the sustainable development of its region by USING NATURAL RESOURCES RESPONSIBLY AND BY RECYCLING WASTE MATERIAL.
We devote significant resources to developing our products and to promoting employment and decent working conditions in the region.
We guarantee that 100% of our production of Ventresca and Tarantello of bluefin tuna comes from local catches, made in the Strait of Gibraltar with the “GREEN STICK” TECHNIQUE, respecting the marine ecosystem.
