La Curiosa

Let me tell you the story of La Curiosa, a brand born not from a long-standing family tradition in canning but from a deep, personal passion. The founder, driven by a lifelong fascination with canned goods influenced by their mother’s long career at a cannery, ventured into the world of canning after completing their studies. It wasn’t long before they were hooked, drawn in by the desire to infuse fresh ideas into a traditionally conservative industry.

La Curiosa prides itself on producing high-quality canned products that appeal to the most refined palates. They exclusively collaborate with top factories like Real Conservera Española and Portomar in the Ría de Arousa region, known for their commitment to tradition and excellence. This young brand holds a deep respect for traditional methods, sourcing only from the Galician Estuaries and adhering strictly to recipes passed down through generations—using only natural ingredients and avoiding additives.

Every product from La Curiosa is handcrafted with meticulous attention to the art of canning, ensuring each piece of seafood is perfectly preserved and presented. This dedication to quality extends to the packaging as well, with beautifully illustrated cans by María José Fernández, capturing historical moments from each year since 1940. These illustrations are not just decorations but narratives of history and passion.

La Curiosa is more than a brand; it’s a vibrant testament to the founder's love for the craft, the tradition, and the quality of Galician preserves. Their hope? To continue using preserves as a canvas for many years to come, celebrating both the heritage and the artistry of canning.
