Small Scallops in Salsa de Vieira

Salsa de vieira is a classic Galician scallop sauce — a rich, savoury preparation made from the cooking juices of the scallops themselves, seasoned with olive oil, onion, and spices, and used here as the packing medium for Ar de Arte's small Atlantic scallops. It's a deeply flavoured, intensely oceanic sauce that amplifies the natural sweetness of the scallop rather than masking it, and it makes this tin one of the most interesting in the Ar de Arte range.

Galicia's Rías Baixas produce some of the world's finest scallops — the cold, nutrient-rich Atlantic waters and the sheltered estuaries create ideal conditions for bivalves of exceptional quality. These small scallops are packed 12 to 16 pieces per tin, each one tender and sweet. Eat them straight from the tin, spooned over toast, stirred into a simple pasta, or served as part of a conservas spread alongside anchovies, sardines, and a cold glass of Albariño. The sauce is worth every drop.
