Voted Spains best Conservas the last 3 years running.
CONSERVAS NARDIN, S.L., although it was set up as such in 1995, is in fact owned by a family which has, for generations, been dedicated to the purchase and sale and transformation of fresh fish.
Its main activity is the elaboration of salted anchovies. It is here that all the family experience comes to the fore, since it was the great-grandfather of the current directors, Mr Oliveri, a Sicilian by birth and an expert in the salting process, who passed down from generation to generation the salting technique which is today recognised as being one of the best.
Salted anchovies were the origin of company activity, but, given the entrepreneurial spirit of the family, and bearing in mind that the elaboration of this product is only possible with fish caught by the Basque fleet in the Cantabrian Sea coastal waters, it was decided that the company activity should be extended to other fields.
The company began to produce anchovy fillets and white tuna in oil. Initially this small-scale production was supplied to nearby restaurants and shops, but the quality of the product soon became well known by word-of-mouth and in consequence there was a big increase in production, bringing with it more employees and better facilities.
The success of these products encouraged the company to bring in new products, which resulted in two new lines: vinaigrette and smoked products.
The excellent quality of all its products has allowed the NARDIN brand to be very well positioned in a demanding market segment, a market which appreciates the commitment and the way of working of this company.
Elaboration : Quality is the goal
CONSERVAS NARDIN's main goal is quality, both with regards to its products and its service.
Firstly, the quality of the primary product is fundamental. The close relationship between CONSERVAS NARDIN and the Port of Getaria, along with the family's extensive experience in the field of fresh fish, means the company has great knowledge of fishing, of the fish markets and of the optimum qualities of the different kinds of fish found in the area. Being present when the boats unload their catches allows the company to guarantee the quality of the fish and check that it is in line with the agreed specifications: fresh fish in season.
Once the fish has been brought in, it is essential that the subsequent elaboration process is impeccable, for which reason it starts on the same day as the fish is bought, hence maintaining the freshness of the primary product. It is then elaborated in keeping with the artisan tradition, without any kinds of preservative or additive. A strict quality assurance process means any risk of contamination throughout the production process is eliminated.
Once the final product is obtained, the appropriate maintenance and conservation processes are implemented in order to ensure that the product does not lose any of its properties.
The process concludes with careful attention to the design of the different formats and a speedy order processing and delivery service.
