Conservas La Pixueta, based in Cudillero, Asturias, specializes in the artisanal production of canned seafood, including spider crab, velvet crab, and sea urchin. The company uses traditional production methods that guarantee the preservation of the original organoleptic characteristics.
One of its most outstanding products is the can of piquillo pepper stuffed with spider crab. This product combines piquillo peppers, grown in the Navarra region under designation of origin, with spider crab meat from the Cantabrian coast. The production process respects the quality of both raw materials, with a filling made manually that maintains the delicate texture and characteristic flavor of the spider crab. The choice of piquillo pepper, with its smooth texture and slightly sweet flavor, complements the seafood filling, creating a balanced product that is representative of regional gastronomy.
As for packaging, Conservas La Pixueta uses hermetic metal containers that protect the contents from light, oxygen, and moisture. This protection is crucial to ensure freshness and quality during long periods of storage, avoiding the need for additional preservatives. The opacity of the packaging also helps to preserve the nutrients and original flavor of the product, ensuring that consumers receive a food with its properties intact from its manufacture to its consumption.
