Club del Gourmet Octopus in Extra Virgin Olive Oil – 165g

Club del Gourmet's octopus arrives tender and subtly briny, bathed in extra virgin olive oil. Sourced and prepared in Spain, each 165-gram jar holds carefully selected octopus that benefits from slow infusion in the oil — a classic Spanish conserva that rewards both simplicity and imagination.

About this product

This is octopus prepared the way Spanish cooks have done for generations: cleaned, gently cooked, and preserved in extra virgin olive oil. The tender flesh holds the gentle flavor of the sea without any fishiness. The oil itself becomes a prized ingredient, rich with the octopus's subtle brininess. Serve it cold or at room temperature; the flavor deepens over time as the oil and octopus bond.

How to enjoy

• Plate directly as a tapa with crusty bread and a squeeze of lemon.
• Shred into a salad of white beans, red onion, and Arbequina olive oil.
• Warm gently and serve with new potatoes and a drizzle of the infused oil.
• Use the leftover oil for dressing seafood dishes or roasted vegetables.

⭐ Why we love this

This is pulpo a la gallega in a jar—the Galician preparation method that defines Spanish octopus mastery. Club del Gourmet's conserva respects the ingredient's integrity: no heavy sauces, just pristine flesh preserved in its own gentle oil, a technique that has anchored Spanish coastal tables for centuries.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve chilled as a tapa alongside a crisp Albariño from Rías Baixas or a dry Manzanilla sherry—the wine's salinity mirrors the octopus's briny depth. For a light meal, pair with crusty pan gallego and a simple tomato salad dressed in the infused oil.

📍 From Spain

Club del Gourmet sources this octopus from Spain's Atlantic fishing traditions, where Galicia's waters have supplied the finest specimens for generations. The brand, curated by El Corte Inglés, upholds the Spanish conserva standard—slow cooking and oil preservation that transforms seafood into shelf-stable treasure.
