Get to know: Los Peperetes Cod Galician Style 120g

Tasting Note

This is comfort food, Galician-style. Los Peperetes’ lightly cooked cod is soft, flaky and gently meaty, sitting in a deeply savoury family-recipe sauce made with paprika, tomato, garlic, olive oil and warming spices. The flavours are rich but beautifully balanced – smoky sweetness from the paprika, gentle acidity from the tomato and a mellow garlic depth that never overwhelms the delicate cod. It’s warming, rounded and quietly luxurious, the kind of dish that feels both homely and special.

Lovely warmed through and spooned over crusty bread, served with potatoes, or enjoyed straight from the tin when you want something deeply satisfying without any effort.

Enjoy this with new potatoes or white beans, a simple green salad, or plenty of bread to mop up that sauce.

Try pairing this with:

• Adegas Laureatus, Reveleste Albarino – crisp citrus and freshness lift the paprika-rich sauce
• Quinta da Raza, Alvarinho Trajadura – bright, lightly textured and brilliant with garlic and olive oil
• Domaine Landreau, Cremant de Loire Brut NV – clean, lively bubbles refresh the palate between bites

Kate Says

“This feels like something you’d be served in a tiny Galician bar with a glass of white and no rush at all. Warming, savoury and properly comforting – I’m always happy to see this tin on the shelf.”

Producer Info

Los Peperetes is a small, highly respected cannery based in Galicia, founded in 1993 by Jesús Lorenzo Crespo, the grandson of one of the region’s first canners. The name ‘Peperetes’ is a Galician word for tasty, desirable and surprising delicacies – and that sums up their approach perfectly.

They work exclusively with local suppliers and follow a completely manual production process, using artisanal techniques and family recipes passed down through generations. Every tin is prepared by hand, with care and precision, ensuring the flavour, texture and integrity of the ingredients are always front and centre.
