Vegagel

History and Canning

Vegagel S.L. began selling preserved vegetables in 1949 and started making its own preserves in 1960. In 1999, it added canned fish to its range. The company describes its work as artisan canning and says it has maintained traditional preparation while adapting to newer manufacturing processes.
