🌟 Preserving Tradition, One Can at a Time

Every day, skilled artisans—predominantly women—meticulously cut carrots, peppers, and onions, before delicately placing three carefully selected sardines into each tin. From there, the cans undergo the final processes of fulfillment and packing, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of excellence.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A Family Legacy

Today, the Conservas Portugal Norte company is proudly managed by a daughter and son-in-law duo, who not only export their products to over 19 countries but also strive to innovate and expand their market domestically. While historically export-oriented, there’s a growing appreciation for gourmet preserves among the Portuguese populace, thanks to the influence of renowned chefs and cultural events.
