- by Matiz
- Spain
Mediterranean producer Matiz catches their octopus off the coast of Spain and Portugal, and preserves the tender bites in a tin of premium extra virgin olive oil. The octopus has a rich, slightly briny taste of ocean salt and a texture like medium-rare steak. Both hearty and mild, this tinned octopus is ready for snacking, and makes an excellent addition to pastas or salads. Try Matiz Octopus in a homemade dish with 1932 Arrabbiata Sauce or served simply with a rustic cracker like Firehook Multigrain Flax Cracker.
“When I need an idea for an easy lunch or dinner, I gravitate towards this Matiz Octopus. I love the quality, freshness and tender texture, without the hassle of having to prepare and cook octopus myself. My favorite is to serve with chorizo, peppadews, and some spiced potatoes for a quick tapas night at home!”
