La Tarifeña Mackerel Eggs in Sunflower Oil, 120g

La Tarifeña Mackerel Roe is an artisanal canned mackerel roe made by Conservera de Tarifa, a traditional cannery in Tarifa, Cadiz, Spain, operating since 1910. These roe are packed in sunflower oil, which provides a milder flavor compared to olive oil, enhancing the natural flavor of mackerel, a blue back fish known for its rich and distinctive flavor. Main characteristics: Presentation: The roe are wrapped in a soft, natural membrane of a slightly whitish-yellow color. They have a granulated texture that melts in the mouth, offering an intense aroma and a robust and pleasant taste of mackerel.

Nutritional value: Mackerel roe is highly nutritious, rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA, more than 30% of the detected fatty acids), proteins, iron, calcium and vitamins (B12, D, E). These nutrients promote cardiovascular health, brain development and reduction of inflammation.

Culinary use: Considered a gourmet delicacy, the roe is versatile for tapas, salads, toast or as a condiment. It is a prized ingredient in Andalusian cuisine, being used in recipes such as tortillitas (a variant of shrimp fritters) or paired with sliced tomatoes and olive pate on bread.
