Ramón Peña’s Squid in Ink from the Gold Series is a masterclass in traditional Galician conservas, where every element—from the tender squid to the rich, inky sauce—is handled with care and precision. Sourced from the cool waters off the coast of Galicia, the squid is cleaned by hand and slow-cooked until perfectly tender, then enveloped in its own natural ink, blended with tomato, onion, and a hint of spice.
The result is a bold, velvety sauce that’s earthy, briny, and deeply savoury, with a touch of sweetness that complements the delicate texture of the squid. Each tin is part of Ramón Peña’s prestigious Gold Series, a line reserved for the finest seafood, prepared using time-honoured techniques that honour the region’s culinary heritage.
Serve warm with a slice of crusty bread, spooned over rice, or as part of a showstopping tapas spread. For an elevated pairing, enjoy it with a glass of robust red wine or a dry sherry.
Rich, nuanced, and beautifully balanced, this conserva is a testament to why Ramón Peña is considered one of Spain’s most exceptional producers. The Squid in Ink is not just a tinned seafood—it’s a dish worthy of the finest table.
