The art of canning: how our products are made with tradition and quality

Canned fish has been for centuries one of the best ways to enjoy the sea at any time of the year. At Conservas Hoya, we follow a meticulous process to ensure that each can preserves all the flavor and texture of the best fish from the Cantabrian Sea.

Today we tell you how we transform fresh fish into a gourmet preserve that you can enjoy in your kitchen.

1. The importance of responsible fishing

The first step of a good canning begins at sea. We work with local fishermen who use sustainable fishing methods, such as hook-and-line for white tuna or purse seine nets for anchovy. This not only guarantees the quality of the product, but also protects marine ecosystems.

2. Rapid processing to ensure freshness

The fish is quickly transferred to our facilities, where it undergoes a selection and cleaning process.

• Impurities are eliminated.
• They are washed to maintain their firm texture.
• The best pieces are selected for each type of canning.

3. Preservation Techniques: from Salting to Olive Oil

Depending on the type of fish, we apply different preservation methods:

• Cooking and packaging in olive oil for the White Tuna: Maintains its juiciness and natural flavor.
• Salting and maturation in barrels for anchovies: A process that enhances their flavor and turns them into a delicacy.

4. Careful packaging for a Gourmet product

Each canned product is processed manually to guarantee its quality. The anchovies are cleaned one by one and precisely placed in the jars, while the bonito loins are cut and packed in olive oil or pickled.

5. Why choose artisanal canned food?

Industrial canning uses mechanical processes and artificial preservatives, while at Conservas Hoya we are committed to a traditional production process that maintains the authentic flavor of the fish.

By choosing our preserves, you are betting on:
✔️ Authentic and natural flavor
✔️ A product produced in a sustainable way
✔️ Guaranteed quality in each can

From fishing to packaging, each phase of the elaboration process of our canned products is designed to offer you a product of the highest quality. If you are looking to enjoy the best White Tuna or the authentic Anchovies from Santoña, in Conservas Hoya you will find a unique selection.
