Conservas Ortiz, commonly known as Ortiz Seafood, is a Spanish company specializing in the production of premium canned and preserved seafood products. Founded in 1891 by Bernardo Ortiz de Zárate in Ondarroa, in the Basque Country of northern Spain, Ortiz is recognized globally for its high-quality, traditionally prepared fish products, particularly its line of Bonito del Norte (albacore tuna) and anchovies.
Ortiz is known for its commitment to artisanal methods and sustainable fishing practices. The company continues to employ line-caught methods for its Bonito del Norte tuna and hand-filleting techniques for its anchovies, preserving age-old practices passed down through generations. Many of Ortiz’s products are packed in olive oil and undergo a maturation process to enhance flavor and texture.
The brand has earned a reputation among chefs, gourmet retailers, and seafood enthusiasts for the quality, flavor, and authenticity of its offerings. Its product range includes albacore tuna, anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and specialty seafood pâtés, distributed internationally across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Ortiz places a strong emphasis on traceability, sustainability, and preserving marine ecosystems, working closely with responsible fisheries and adhering to stringent environmental standards.
