From Gijón, Spain
Agromar, with over 50 years of experience, continues to offer the finest quality in canned and precooked products. Our company's history dates back to 1948 when Armando Barrio Mata from Gijón had the original idea of canning sea urchin roe, which was abundant in the Asturian coastal areas at the time.
Initially intended for family consumption and given as gifts, the unique product quickly showed commercial potential, which Armando recognized and developed.
During those years, there were many small artisanal canneries scattered along the Cantabrian coast, including one operated by his father back in 1920. Armando himself produced and marketed fish preserves, perhaps the most artisanal of canned goods.
It was he who finally registered the brand in 1968 and who, 21 years later, facilitated the birth of what we now know as CONSERVAS AGROMAR, a young and innovative corporation.
For the production of their preserves, they use locally sourced ingredients of the highest quality, with a specialty in tuna preserves. In the case of their prepared dishes, they use only natural ingredients, respecting the traditional recipes that have been passed down for centuries from generation to generation.
