Squid in Olive Oil 111 g Portomar – Artisanal Canned Food from Galicia, Spain | Conservas Portomar

The fork pierces a tender piece, the golden olive oil flows gently, and the scent of the sea arrives before the first bite. A little bread, a squeeze of lemon… there are Portomar olive oil squid, the Galician sea in a 111 g box. I place the squid on a slice of toasted bread, with a little of the oil from the box, and squeeze a little lemon. First bite: the salt, clear, then the sweetness of the olive oil that coats everything. The flesh is tender, just firm enough to the bite, and the taste of the sea settles in, long and round. I am on a terrace in Galicia, a glass of very cold white wine in hand, and the late afternoon light falls on the water. Imagine a Saturday night of tapas, facing the Atlantic… The table is small, but no one complains. Olives, bread, tomatoes, a bowl of peppers. Someone opens a box of squid and places it in the center. No ceremony: everyone picks, dips their bread in the oil, everyone talks at the same time. In Spain, canned food is not a last resort, it is a pleasure that we take the time to share. The house behind the box Conservas Portomar is established in Vilagarcía de Arousa, in Galicia, in the heart of the Rías Gallegas, a region where the sea has been part of daily life for generations. The squid are preserved in olive oil, as is the tradition of Galician preserves. (Ingredients to be confirmed on the label.) You don't buy canned squid for a last resort… you buy them for a little vacation moment. To remember that a good meal can fit in a box, a piece of bread and a quiet moment.
