Cockles are a bivalve mollusk that can be found along our Galician coasts in droves. They usually live in tidal flats or at river mouths. The European species, Cerastoderma edule, can be found across Atlantic coastlines. Cockles have a rich sea flavor that is very distinctive and characteristic.
In addition to the cockles found across the different Atlantic coasts, we also produce the highly-prized seasonal cockle. Although they can only be picked during a few months of year from the famous Galician estuaries, they can be enjoyed year-round either by themselves or with a few drops of lemon, by simply opening a can.
