José Gourmet Octopus in Spicy Olive Oil

$24.00

The octopus is a delicious mollusk. Its consistency and soft texture make it a unique delicacy, unparalleled. What we propose is a spicy version of our octopus caught in the Atlantic Ocean. This irresistible combination with piri piri is so appealing that you will want to try this delicacy at every sunset.

One day, a certain octopus complained about his life. Although he belonged to a biologically diversified family, he had been born an octopus and that’s how he lived. That was it, nothing else to be but an octopus. He needed to spice up his days, even if it meant sprinkling some magic dust to stir that monotony. Apparently, someone indulged him!

Description

Ingredients: Octopus(62,5%), Olive Oil(36,5%), Chilli(0,6%) and Salt.

The terms “spiced” and “spicy” are used pretty much interchangeably in the tinned fish world, to mean two different things: with a hot pepper (or hot pepper flavor), and with cloves/bay/carrot/hot pepper. There are many examples of both terms being used to mean both things.

We are so frustrated by how widespread this confusing inconsistent usage is that we’ve gone through our entire product line to correct the incorrect ones such that our description of “spiced” or “spicy” will always indicate which it really is, regardless of the packaging. “Spicy” = with hot pepper flavor. “Spiced” = with the cloves/bay/carrot/hot pepper flavors.
