Canned and Preserved Food Production in Portugal

Portugal has a long-established canning tradition, particularly in fish and seafood. Portuguese manufacturers are internationally known for sardines, tuna, mackerel, codfish, octopus and other seafood preserves, often prepared in olive oil, tomato sauce, brine or traditional marinades.

The country's preserved-food industry also includes olives, pickles, sauces, lupin beans and other shelf-stable products. Many producers combine traditional preparation methods with modern food-safety and export standards.
