Our suppliers harvest cockles using traditional methods, respecting closed seasons and minimum sizes to ensure sustainability and the highest quality .
Size matters: a guide to choosing your cockles
The caliber indicates the number of pieces per can. The smaller the number, the larger the cockles.
20/30 pieces : The largest and most exclusive. Meaty and ideal for special occasions.

35/45 pieces : Premium standard gauge. Perfect for everyday use.
