What a pleasure it is to find entrepreneurs like Cristobal Fernández. Don't expect from him a romantic lineage of three generations dedicated to the world of preserves.

He's crazy about preserves, but of course, it runs in the family. His mother worked in a canning factory for over 15 years, so you can imagine that there was always a can on their table at home.

After finishing his studies, he became curious to learn more about the canning world, and he even had the opportunity to work in a factory for a year.

When you combine a passion for something with an entrepreneurial spirit, there's no turning back. As I mentioned before, he's full of youth, and he's eager, very eager, to do things right, eager to bring freshness to a too-conservative sector, eager to innovate and start anew. Innovation in gastronomy is crucial for capturing new generations. His mission is to offer preserves of the highest quality, tailored to the most discerning palates.

They continue to make their preserves with delicacies from the Galician estuaries and making their sauces following traditional recipes only with natural ingredients and no additives. Maintaining forgotten processes like the toasting of some fish.
