Origins
Conservas are a premium Spanish tinned seafood, originated in the Galicia region in the 19th century, when the sardine industry built an entire regional economy around the art of packing fish in oil. Galicia's cold, mineral-rich Atlantic waters produce some of the world's most flavorful wild-caught sardines. Siesta Co., founded by a Spanish couple based in Los Angeles, sources from Galician fisheries to bring that tradition to modern pantries.
