A reliable pantry staple elevated by careful Spanish preparation, Pepus Tuna in Vegetable Oil offers firm yet tender flakes of tuna with a mild, clean flavour profile. The vegetable oil preserves moisture without masking the fish, making this a versatile tin suited to everything from sandwiches and salads to pasta dishes and quick lunches.
Pepus specialises in traditional Spanish conservas designed for everyday enjoyment; quality seafood, thoughtfully packed and easy to incorporate into simple meals. Their tuna reflects that philosophy perfectly: approachable, satisfying and consistently dependable.
Fold through a salade niçoise, spoon onto toasted bread with pickled onions and capers, or toss through warm pasta with garlic and parsley. Pair with a dry rosé, a light Chardonnay or a cold Spanish-style lager.
 
The story of Pepus dates back to 2003, which is when Miquel Tapias, the present owner of Espinaler and the fourth generation of the Tapias family at the head of the business, decided to create a second brand of fish and shellfish preserves.
 
Pepus was a personal friend of the Tapias family and Miquel named his second business "Pepus" in his honour when he passed away. Brine cooked tuna, packed in sunflower oil. Soft and light texture. Pepus is the fun, bright brand of Espinaler. They offer some great conservas for a more modest price point. Conservas for the people!
