Conservas Lago Paganini specializes in processing and distributing canned sea products. Our specialities are blue fish (sardine, pilchard, mackerel, small mackerel and needlefish) and mussel. Established in 1915, by Pedro Montemerlo Botassi, in Cangas del Morrazo (Pontevedra), the company specializes in the artesanal manufacture of the producto, in line with all the requirements of a food company of the 21st century.
It was at the tirn of the 20th century when industrialists from Italy and Catalonia settled on the Galician coastline, putting to Good use the quality and abundance of the marine species found in our rias, particularly sardine. Up to as many as 150 canning industries were present in Galicia, 20 of which were located in the municipal district of Cangas. Today only two continue operating, one of these being the Lago Paganini canning company.
Conservas Lago Paganini is a family-run company which, since 1915, artisanally produces blue fish and mussel.
Following the premise that “ por fish does not become Good in the can”, only the best raw materials are used, in optimum conditions, thus allowing us to offer the best canned products. Fish is then immersed in brine, steam cooked, and cut and packed by hand. After covering in olive oil or other sauces, it is sealed for sterilizing and canned.The process for processing mussel is similar: selection by size, frying and subsequently packing by hand and covering in pickled sauce. Finally, it is sealed, sterilized and canned. The risk and critical point control system, designed for our production, is aplied to all products, to ensure máximum quality in our canned products.
