Sea Urchin Roe

Sea urchin caviar comes from an echinoderm that offers an unmistakable and unique flavour of the sea. It is a very popular product in Japan and France.

In Spain, Asturias and Galicia are the autonomous communities with the strongest tradition of eating sea urchin, known as oricios, followed by Catalonia and the Basque Country. In other communities, the sea urchin is becoming increasingly well-known for its use in the world of haute cuisine.

Beyond its intense flavour, sea urchin caviar is a highly nutritious food. It contains easily digestible marine proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, it also provides vitamins such as A, important for eyesight and skin care, and essential minerals like potassium, which helps to maintain healthy blood pressure levels. It is also a source of zinc, iodine and selenium, nutrients that contribute to the proper functioning of the immune system.

Its characteristic orange colour comes from its natural carotenoids, antioxidants that help protect cells against ageing.

And as with the rest of our tinned products, the harvesting is done in a controlled and environmentally friendly manner, following principles similar to those we apply to our tinned cockles, prioritising sustainability and the care of coastal ecosystems.

Tinned sea urchin caviar does not require any special storage conditions. You can store it in the larder or in a cupboard. However, once the tin of sea urchin roe is opened, we recommend keeping it in the refrigerator and consuming it within 24 hours.

The purest way to appreciate our 'oricio' caviar is on its own, on a small piece of lightly toasted white bread, spread with a little unsalted butter and, if you wish, a few drops of lemon. This simple presentation allows the intense sea flavour and unique texture of the roe to take centre stage.

For special occasions, a teaspoon of coastal 'oricio' caviar on creamy scrambled eggs creates a truly memorable contrast of textures and flavours.

Tinned sea urchin caviar pairs especially well with scrambled eggs, soups, creamy sauces and pasta. We suggest you try the sea urchin caviar just as it comes in the tin, for example, on a slice of freshly toasted thin bread with a few drops of lemon.

The intense character of 'oricio' caviar finds its ideal complement in aged, dry white wines, such as full-bodied Albariños or barrel-fermented Verdejos.
