Artesanos Alalunga European Hake Cheeks (Cocochas de Merluza) in Olive Oil
(135 g) Hake cheeks, known as cocochas in Spain, are considered one of the most exquisite parts of the fish. Each cheek is carefully trimmed and gently slow cooked before being packed in high quality olive oil from Navarra. Traditionally served fresh, cocochas are rarely preserved in tins, making this conserva truly unique.
INGREDIENTS: European hake (Merluccius merluccius), olive oil, Arbequina extra virgin olive oil, and salt.
Nacho Valle,Lata Shop Expert
"Every time I go to Donosti (San Sebastián), I order cocochas almost every day I’m there. They’re such a special, delicate cut of hake and a true delicacy of Basque cuisine. Somehow, Artesanos Alalunga has managed to capture that incredible experience in a tin."
Why Lata
We are a group of friends from Spain living in the United states that share a passion for canned food and miss it so much that decided to source the best products from Spain.
Sourced with Care
We work directly with small producers across Spain and Portugal - many of them family-run - who still use traditional methods to preserve seafood at peak freshness and texture. Our tins reflect generations of heritage and craft.
Curated by Us
We taste every tin and only select the very best. You won't find a crowded marketplace here - just a tight, rotating collection of standouts we personally love and believe in.
Rooted in Ritual
Behind every tin is a story, a culture, and a moment meant to be savored. Whether you're new to conservas or a lifelong fan, we hope Lata brings a little joy and nostalgia to your table.
