What Is Selección 1920
Selección 1920 is a premium conservas collection that curates canned seafood from leading sources in Galicia. The name “1920” references a year connected to the history of conservas in Spain — a period when the Galician conservas industry grew and production standards developed.
The collection brings together conservas made from high-quality ingredients, produced using traditional methods, and presented in a format suited for collecting and gifting. It differs from ordinary conservas sold as individual tins.

The History of the Collection
The history of Selección 1920 is tied to the history of conservas in Galicia. In the early 20th century, the Galician conservas industry began to grow, with many artisanal factories springing up along the coast, each with its own recipes and methods.
The name “1920” reflects the era when Galician conservas began to gain recognition and international acceptance. During this period, production and quality standards developed that set Galician conservas apart from ordinary canned fish.
The Selección 1920 collection therefore gathers conservas that carry forward the standards and heritage of that era, selected from factories that still produce using traditional methods.
Why It Is Called a Limited Edition
Selección 1920 is called a limited edition for several reasons.
Limited ingredients: The conservas in the collection uses ingredients caught during specific seasons. The highest-quality fish and shellfish are limited by season, which limits production volume.
Hand production: The conservas in the collection is made by hand in limited quantities, not mass-produced industrially. This limits the number of tins that can be produced.
Curation: Each tin in the collection goes through careful curation, selecting only the highest-quality pieces. This limits the number that passes selection.
Special packaging: The collection often features specially designed packaging, making it suited for collecting and gifting.
