More information

The Melva is a blue fish that belongs to the tuna family, like tuna and mackerel. It is a very affordable and tasty fish, widely used for canning and consumed mainly in the Andalusian region. At Arlequín canning company, we want to bring Melva preserves to all of Spain so that everyone can discover this delicious fish. With its white and flavorful meat, it is perfect for use in salads, toasts, canapés, or prepared in croquettes, meatballs, or pâté. Melva has a compact texture and a very characteristic and mild aroma and flavor. It has a low content of fats and carbohydrates, rich in healthy fats like omega-3, and is a source of vitamins A, B, and D, as well as minerals like iron and phosphorus. It is considered a source of nutrients that contribute to our health and is recommended for pregnant women and children. Canned Melva is considered a great ingredient as it retains all of its properties and can be consumed at any time of the year, even when it is not the fresh product's fishing season. For our preserves, we select the best specimens and can them in fillets with an easy-open lid, using high-quality olive oil so that the Melva does not lose any of its incredible flavor and aroma.
