Mediterranean Context
Octopus requires patience.
Across Mediterranean coasts, octopus is respected for its texture and character. It is never rushed. Slow cooking allows muscle fibers to relax, transforming firmness into tenderness while preserving structure.
Preserving octopus in olive oil continues this philosophy, protecting texture and allowing it to be served directly at the table.
