Gourmet Berberechos al natural

Gourmet is a private label brand primarily associated with Transgourmet Ibérica (formerly GM Food), a major wholesale distributor in Spain. The brand focuses on providing professional-grade food products to the hospitality and catering sectors, as well as retail consumers through its GM Cash and supermarket networks.

While the brand itself is managed by Transgourmet Ibérica, the actual production of seafood items like these cockles (berberechos) is typically outsourced to specialized Spanish canneries. These products are often sourced from the Rías Gallegas in Galicia, Spain, which is world-renowned for high-quality canned shellfish. The brand originated in Spain under General Markets Food Iberica, which was historically owned by the Miquel family, then by the Chinese Group Bright Food, and finally acquired by the Swiss cooperative Coop (through its subsidiary Transgourmet) in 2021.
