At Conserveira do Sul, each team member plays a vital role. We take this opportunity to honour the hands and the knowledge that bring our products to life, can by can, day after day.

A Manual Process, A Traditional Craft

Founded in 1954, in Olhão, southern Portugal, Conserveira do Sul has always remained true to its roots and traditions. Our production is defined by a strong manual component — from fish preparation and filleting to careful canning, every step is carried out with precision and attention to detail.

This artisanal process requires experience, dedication, and care — qualities embodied by our team of over 100 professionals, who give their best every single day.

Over 60% of our team are women, many with decades of experience. These women continue to preserve time-honoured techniques that are deeply ingrained in both the local culture and the canning industry. With trained eyes and skilful hands, they carry out a meticulous process, treating each fish with the respect it deserves and upholding the high standards for which our products are known.

Thanks to this traditional approach, we are able to offer products of exceptional quality, while preserving the natural properties of the fish — with no added colourings or artificial preservatives.

A Social and Human Commitment

More than 70% of our employees live in the Algarve region, with most residing in Olhão, where our production unit is located. This local connection is one of our greatest strengths. We value proximity, generational knowledge, and the pride that comes with producing something that so authentically represents the best of southern Portugal.

Throughout our 71-year history, Conserveira do Sul has become more than a company — it is an extended family, with a strong social impact in the region. By promoting local employment, supporting family stability, and keeping alive a tradition that is rooted in the cultural heritage of Olhão, we proudly embrace our role as an active and responsible member of the community.

Thank You, Team!

To celebrate work is, for us, to celebrate people — those who produce, who care, and who transform fish into a product of excellence, infused with flavour, tradition, and soul.

We offer our heartfelt thanks to all who, over the past seven decades, have contributed — and continue to contribute — to the growth of Conserveira do Sul.
