PRESERVE, IS OUR DUTY

Since 1910, the canning industry has guided the spirit of progress for the people of Tarifa. Long gone are the days when Tarifa had ten or eleven fish canning factories. Currently it is Conservera de Tarifa that has taken the baton, although it is the result of the merger of several canning companies in Tarifa.

Conservera de Tarifa adds knowledge, experience and excellence, maintaining the traditional and family spirit, which generation after generation, for over 115 years, have preserved the work and dedication to canned fish. It is all about us.

Our commitment to continue with an artisanal production process and a solely manual processing of the fish implies a higher proportion of jobs. And also, a longer processing time. But it guarantees the excellence and purity of the product. Discover Conservera de Tarifa, Conservera de Tarifa history
