Discover the Exquisite Melva Canutera by Ibérico Taste
One of our top and exclusive gourmet preserves, Melva Canutera is a premium tinned fish from Andalucia. These hand-selected whole fillets are carefully cleaned, uniformly sized, and placed one by one in the can. The result is a delicate, low-fat fish with a firm texture and whitish flesh, known for its intense aroma and rich flavor. Melva Canutera offers a unique taste of Spanish gastronomy, bringing an authentic Andalusian experience to your table.
What is Melva Canutera?
Melva belongs to the scombridae family, the same as tuna and mackerel, but it is a smaller, more delicate fish. Known especially in Southern Spain, particularly Andalusia, Melva is less common in the north, where Bonito Tuna is more prominent. The name "Canutera" comes from the appearance of the fillets, which resemble small canes when extracted from the fish.
Melva Canutera is a small blue fish, usually weighing around 600 grams and measuring about 55 cm when ready for consumption. Its bluish skin and scale-free surface give way to whitish, tender flesh once cooked, which is packed with health benefits. The fishing season for Melva typically occurs between June and October, ensuring that the fish is at its freshest when processed.
Every step of the production process is done by hand, using only natural ingredients such as melva, olive oil, and sea salt, with no preservatives or additives. This attention to detail ensures the highest quality product, reflecting the artisanal care that goes into every tin.
Nutritional Benefits of Melva Canutera
Melva Canutera is not only a delicious delicacy but also a nutritional powerhouse. It is rich in high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. It also contains essential B vitamins, including niacin (B3) and vitamin B12, vital for energy metabolism and a healthy nervous system.
In addition, melva is a great source of important minerals like iron, zinc, and selenium, which contribute to immune system support, energy production, and overall well-being.
How to Enjoy Melva Canutera

- On Bread: Place the melva fillets on top of crusty bread soaked in their own olive oil for a simple yet delicious snack.
