Ramón Peña (Gold Line): Small Scallops in Sauce

Delicate & Tender | Rich Galician Sauce | Hand-Cleaned Excellence | A Culinary Jewel

Small Scallops in Vieira Sauce. A true crown jewel of the Galician estuaries, these Zamburiñas represent the pinnacle of the Ramón Peña Gold Line. Sourced from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Atlantic, these small Queen Scallops are prized for their tender texture and sweet, oceanic finish. Each scallop is meticulously cleaned by hand to remove the fringe, leaving only the pristine, succulent muscle and the vibrant coral.

Preparation and Texture: The hallmark of this Gold Line release is the harmony between the sea and the soil. The scallops are gently prepared in a traditional Salsa Vieira—a refined Galician reduction of olive oil, sautéed onions, sun-ripened tomatoes, and a delicate dusting of premium paprika. The texture of the scallops is silky and yielding, while the sauce provides a rich, savory depth that carries a subtle, smoky sweetness. This is a masterclass in balance, where the brine of the Atlantic meets the warmth of Spanish spice.

Serving Suggestion: These are best enjoyed slightly warmed to allow the oils in the sauce to fully emulsify. Serve them directly in the tin or on a shallow porcelain dish, accompanied by toasted slices of rustic baguette to capture the remaining sauce. For a sophisticated appetizer, spoon a single scallop and a drop of sauce onto a warm, salted blini or a crisp shard of puffed rice. Pair with a dry, sparkling Cava or a citrus-forward Godello to cut through the richness of the Galician sauce.
