A Taste of the Spanish Coast, Wherever You Are
There’s something magical about coastal Spain — the sound of waves, the scent of olive groves, and the unmistakable flavour of fresh seafood shared around a table. Tapas born from seaside traditions are simple, elegant, and deeply satisfying. And thanks to premium Spanish conservas, you can recreate that experience anywhere — from a rooftop in Dubai to a hotel lounge, a beachside restaurant, or your own dining room.
At Do Gourmet, we bring the best of Spanish gastronomy directly to the UAE. Our Espinaler conservas — trusted by iconic tapas bars and Michelin-starred chefs — let you enjoy authentic seafood tapas with minimal effort and maximum flavour. Just open, plate, and savour.
Why Conservas Are the Soul of Spanish Seafood Tapas
Spanish seafood preserves are not basic pantry items — they’re culinary gems, crafted at peak season and packed with extraordinary care.
This makes them ideal for tapas:
-
Peak freshness captured the moment the seafood is processed
-
Consistent texture and flavour, essential for Horeca kitchens and catering
-
Ready in seconds, ideal for high-volume service or premium delivery
-
Authentic Spanish coastal character in every bite
From tender octopus to silky tuna belly and plump cockles, conservas bring the essence of the Mediterranean to your table effortlessly.
