Cuca Sardinillas in olive oil

Cuca is a prestigious Spanish brand specializing in canned seafood, particularly known for its high-quality sardines and small sardines (sardinillas). Founded in 1932 in Villagarcía de Arosa, Galicia, the brand built its reputation on traditional artisanal methods and the exceptional quality of the Galician estuaries. For decades, it was a family-owned icon of Spanish gourmet preserves.

In contemporary times, the brand's ownership transitioned to the multinational sphere. It was acquired by Bolton Group, an Italian international corporation that owns several prominent household and food brands. Today, while Cuca remains a symbol of Spanish culinary tradition and continues its production in Spain to maintain the authentic flavor and quality of its Galician roots, it is part of a global portfolio directed from Italy.
