Cornish mussels in 'nduja

Small batch British tinned fish from new Cornish cannery, Hevva!

Hevva's roasted Cornish mussels in a rich 'nduja is a unique, standout product, that makes for an ideal beer snack. The rope-grown mussels are hand prepared and canned at the Hevva! cannery on a seaside farm in Bude, North Cornwall. The 'nduja is made from home-reared Lop pork, also smoked and cured on the farm. 

Hevva! chose to work with mussels, an ultra sustainable seafood, because it fits with its eco-friendly ethos: a wind turbine generates electricity on the farm, even powering the oven where the tinned fish is cooked and the magic happens.

Hevva! - Cornish for "Here they are!" - was the cry raised by huers, the fishermen stationed at hillside lookouts above the Cornish coast, when a shoal of pilchards swam into view. This was the signal for people in the town to man the boats and head out to sea.

The Hevva! range is one we’ve watched evolve from initial idea (tins steeped in Cornish tradition that sit well in city delis) to finished (on point) product. When Hevva! first approached us for tips on packaging and the kinds of products UK customers might enjoy late last year, we jumped at the chance to get involved. Today, we couldn't be more impressed with what Hevva! has created.
