Calvo Sardinillas in Olive Oil (Low Salt)

Calvo is one of Spain's most iconic seafood brands, rooted in the heritage of Galician canning traditions. This specific product—low-salt small sardines (sardinillas) packed in olive oil—is a hallmark of their Mediterranean-focused product line. The brand was founded in 1940 by Luis Calvo Sanz in Carballo (A Coruña), where the company maintains its headquarters and primary production facilities to this day.

While Calvo has grown into a global powerhouse in the seafood industry (Grupo Calvo, now branded as Nauterra), it remains firmly tied to its Spanish roots. The manufacturing for this product typically occurs in their original factories in Galicia, Spain, leveraging local expertise in fish processing. Ownership has recently shifted under a new corporate identity, Nauterra, which was launched to unify their global brands like Nostromo and Gomes da Costa under one strategic umbrella while maintaining the family-founded legacy.
