Small Scallops in traditional seafood sauce from Rianxo

Description

“Bou de Vara” is the fishing method which gives its name to our tinned food. We chose it because it identifies with our vision which is traditional and deeply-rooted in the seafaring world. Its use is only authorised in the Ría de Arousa area and occupies a prominent place in the history of the people from the town of Rianxo (ES).

During the last few months of the year, when catching is permitted, the Bou de Vara flora comes to port with, among others, its star product: the “Volandeira”. This is a bivalve mollusc from the same family as scallops, but with a more rounded shell and an orangey tone.

Like other bivalves, it is a filter-feeding species that feeds on phytoplankton. It is rich in vitamins A and B, low in fat and high in protein and minerals such as calcium, iodine and phosphorus.

They are packaged in a traditional way, piece by piece, by expert hands. The journey from the sea to the tin takes a matter of hours in order to preserve all their qualities with maximum freshness.  The Bou de Vara “Volandeira” is prepared in a traditional seafood sauce, made from onion, tomato, bay leaf and extra virgin olive oil. It is a product to be enjoyed by all the senses, fully appreciating it from the moment you open the tin to the full taste and texture experience on the palate. It is a gastronomic delicacy which pairs perfectly with aged dry white wines.
