Octopus in Caldeirada Sauce, ABC+ by Jose Gourmet, Portugal

All the complexities of traditional Portuguese stew, ready at the crack of a can. Warming onion, garlic, and tomato transform this decadent cephalopod to transport your tastebuds to Portugal.

Octopus is a delicacy appreciated in many parts of the world, with Portugal being no exception. Many traditional Portuguese dishes use this famous cephalopod as their main star, and a conserva stew is one of their finest. This stew is designed to deliver a Portuguese tradition in a tin. It takes simple ingredients (tomato, onion, garlic) in the right ratios to provide the traditional flavors of Caldeirada we have come to know and love.

SERVING: Alongside squid ink risotto, atop crusty bread with an herbal salad, shared with friends and good conversation
MADE IN: Portugal

Innovative, experimental, and extremely small scale, ABC+ is breathing new life into the world of conservas. As tinned fish gain popularity, giant companies are eager to consolidate, push production, and limit creativity in the name of scalability. Adriano is doing the exact opposite. ABC+ builds on tradition by developing new and elevated recipes preserved in a distinctive round can and expressing worldly sauces spanning the entire globe - think Bravas from Spain, Moqueca from Brazil, Aglio e Olio from Italy, Curry from Southeast Asian cuisines, and the list goes on - paired only with the highest quality seafood coming from the Port of Matosinhos only a few blocks from the cannery.
