Sea urchin roe
£39.95
Los Peperetes' sea urchin roe has a creamy texture and a fresh marine flavour, like sea air in the morning. Harvested seasonally by divers in the rocky areas of the estuaries in Galicia, this is one of the sea's most sought-after delicacies. Los Peperetes - a Galician word meaning tasty, desirable and surprising delicacies - was founded in 1993 by Jesus Lorenzo Crespo - the grandson of the first Galician canners. He began by canning the finest cockles and sardines he could find, producing only 30 tins a day, sealing each one with a manual seamer. Today Los Peperetes continues to source exclusively from local suppliers, follows a completely manual production process, and uses artisanal techniques and family-recipes passed down through generations.
