About Conservas Ramon Peña

From the harbor factory in Cambados to the family cannery in Ribadumia

In 1920, José Peña Oubiña founded a small cannery in Cambados, not far from the harbor. Around noon, fishermen sold their catch from the Atlantic to the traders there. José bought sardines and mussels and processed them carefully by hand. After just a few years, the company was one of the important canneries in Galicia.

Today, Nely Concheiro runs the family business in the third generation. The company has moved to modern production facilities in Ribadumia, about six kilometers further inland. Cambados remains the place where the story of Ramón Peña began.

Catch of the season, manual labor, and the Pesca de Rías seal

Fish and seafood come from the Galician Rías and the Cantabrian Sea. Only what the respective season provides is processed. After landing, the catch is selected and cleaned by hand, then it is placed in the can with olive oil or spices. According to retailers, almost everything is done by hand; only the sealing and labeling of the cans are handled by machines.

The company works without preservatives, colorings, or bleaching agents. It bears the "Pesca de Rías" quality seal, which is intended to guarantee the origin and quality of the products. The facilities are modern, but in processing, the house continues to follow the working methods of its predecessors. The company states its guiding principle as: respecting the sea and its habits.

Sardines, mussels, and Bonito del Norte: the assortment

The assortment ranges from sardines, also without skin and bones or with Pimiento de Padrón, to mussels in escabeche, cockles, clams, and razor clams to zamburiñas. In addition, there are squids such as chipirones, octopus, and tuna specialties. All products come from the Rías Baixas and the Cantabrian Sea.

The Bonito del Norte in olive oil, which you can find with us, also comes from the Cantabrian Sea. It is well suited as a simple appetizer with bread or with potatoes and tomatoes. The oil from the can can be reused immediately, for example for a dressing.

Ramón Peña —
craftsmanship from Galicia, for three generations

Ramón Peña has stood for over 90 years for what matters most on the Galician Atlantic coast: freshly caught fish and seafood that are processed with care and without shortcuts. Founded in 1920 in Cambados, the company is now based in Ribadumia — in the middle of the Rías Gallegas, those sea inlets that cut deep into the land and are among the most productive fishing grounds in Europe.

Today, Nely Concheiro runs the house in the third generation. Little has changed in the philosophy: The raw material comes directly from the Rías, is processed according to traditional recipes, and bottled in small batches. The result is canned goods that are far more than pantry staples — sardines in olive oil, mussels, octopus, or clams that retain the character of their origin in the jar.

Anyone who brings Ramón Peña to the table doesn't need much else: good bread, a glass of Albariño from the neighborhood — and the courage to serve a tin as a full-fledged course.
