Alalunga
Cuttlefish in Ink Sauce
About This Tin
Artesanos Alalunga presents "Sepia en su Tinta"—an exquisite tribute to traditional Cantabrian cuisine featuring cuttlefish (locally known as Cachón) bathed in its own rich, umami-packed ink. Brothers Alvaro and Pablo from Santander have revived their family recipe, transforming this classic coastal dish into a premium tinned delicacy. Each cuttlefish is sourced from the pristine Cantabrian Sea using responsible inshore fishing practices, then prepared entirely by hand with meticulous attention to detail. The tender cuttlefish is complemented by a thoughtfully crafted sauce featuring tomato, carrot, onion, green pepper, and garlic, gently enhanced with white wine and Arbequina extra virgin olive oil. Each tin is individually numbered, providing complete traceability about the origin of your seafood—a testament to Alalunga's commitment to quality and transparency.
What Makes It Special

- Responsible Sourcing: Exclusively caught using inshore fishing methods from the Cantabrian Sea, then prepared in extremely small batches to maintain exceptional quality.

Perfect Pairings
- Traditional Arroz Negro: Warm the contents gently and serve over high-quality short-grain white rice with a touch of lemon zest and fresh parsley for an effortless yet impressive Spanish dinner.
- Black Pasta Showcase: Toss with al dente squid ink pasta, adding a splash of the sauce to coat every strand with the rich, briny flavor before topping with the tender cuttlefish pieces.
