With an image inspired by Modernist Art, the CATRAIO brand was created in 1912 by the former Nero & C.ª canning company in Sesimbra, a symbol of excellence in Portuguese canned foods.

In 1930, the brand achieved recognition when it was awarded the Silver Medal at the Setúbal Regional Exhibition, becoming a must-have for Christmas delicacies in the region.

Today, CATRAIO has been reborn at the hands of FAROPEIXE, a company dedicated to the production and sale of fish pâtés and preserves, continuing the legacy of a canning tradition with deep roots in the fishing community of Olhão.

Reviving traditional production methods to offer Portuguese Tuna Fillets in Olive Oil of exceptional quality.

Each tin is a tribute to the authentic flavour of the sea and the art of Portuguese canning — a timeless classic that combines history, tradition and gourmet flavour.

Benefits

Canned fish is a natural source of health and energy, recognised for its enormous nutritional value. It stands out for its high omega-3 content, an essential polyunsaturated fat that contributes to the proper functioning of the heart and brain.
Rich in proteins of high biological value, which are essential for cell and hormone formation and metabolic balance, canned fish is also an excellent source of vitamins A, D and B complex (B3, B6 and B12).
They also contain important minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and magnesium, which help to strengthen the immune system and maintain healthy bones and muscles.
More than just flavour, canned fish offers nutrition, tradition and well-being in every serving.

Orders are normally dispatched by courier (DPD) and can be sent to any location in mainland Portugal or practically all countries within the European Community (see list). Unfortunately, due to very strict customs restrictions, we are no longer able to ship orders to the UK. This situation may change in the future, depending on the evolution of extra-community agreements. If you prefer, you can choose a collection point for your order. If the delivery is made in Albufeira, we will deliver it by hand free of charge.

An important point to highlight is the need to have the complete address and, above all, leave a contact telephone number for the country where the order is being sent. For example, if the shipping address is in France, the contact must be a telephone with a French code, not Portuguese, because the courier will only call a number in the country if he needs more information about the delivery location.

We only use cardboard boxes specially designed for postal shipping. Products are packaged and protected in the best possible way, using only recycled or recyclable material. The filling of the box is made from shreds of colored paper, which gives it a cheerful and appealing appearance. We believe, however, that the important thing is the quality of the content and not sophisticated packaging, which is often discarded immediately and ends up being another environmental pollutant. At the end of the year, there is the option of choosing a box with Christmas effects, but it is still made of recyclable cardboard.
