Dénia Gamba Roja (Valencian Red Prawn)
Extraordinary deep-sea prawns caught in the pristine waters off the coast of Denia, harvested from depths of 900 metres where they live in total darkness, free from pollution. These legendary gamba roja thrive in the perfect conditions of the Mediterranean's deepest waters, developing their distinctive sweet flavour and delicate texture that has made them one of the most coveted crustaceans in the world.
Carefully selected and sorted by Denia's expert fishermen, these prawns represent the pinnacle of Mediterranean seafood. Size variation occurs naturally between genders, with females being larger and males smaller. Despite their current status as a culinary treasure, gamba roja once had humble beginnings — fishermen historically discarded them or used them only for stock, unaware of the exceptional delicacy they were releasing back to the sea.
Each prawn is individually quick frozen to preserve the pristine quality and sweet, mineral-rich flavour that develops in the deep Mediterranean waters. Their vibrant red colour and exceptional taste make them the ultimate expression of Spanish seafood excellence.
Producer: Caught by traditional fishermen operating from the historic port of Denia, working the deep Mediterranean waters between Denia and Ibiza using sustainable fishing methods that have been refined over generations.
Origin: Denia, Mediterranean Coast, Spain
Storage: Keep frozen until ready to use. Defrost in refrigerator for 2-3 hours before cooking. Once defrosted, use within 24 hours. Do not refreeze.
Allergens: Crustaceans
