ABOUT CANNED PORTUGUESE SARDINES
Sardine canning factories in Portugal. Canned fish is deeply rooted in Portuguese gastronomic culture. Everyone knows the famous Portuguese sardines that have become a real symbol for the whole country. It all began in 1865 at Villa Real de San Antònio when Ramirez company first used the newly developed appertization (heat preservation). The idea was to be able to eat excellent fish, especially Portuguese sardines, outside the fishing seasons. It is always the idea that prevails. Today there are about twenty sardine canneries that also preserve other fish or shellfish in Portugal. The most famous are to be found in the north, in Matosinhos with the Conserverie La Gondola, whose traditional methods are based on the pre-cooking of fresh fish. The Lisbon sardine cannery (Conserveira de Lisboa), well known to tourists, is also famous for its Tricana or Minor brands.
Portuguese sardines back in fashion. Canned fish is now in fashion: sardines, cod, tuna, octopus, squid are tasted canned in olive oil or natural or garnished with tomatoes, lemons, peppers, garlic, piri piri... or cooked with typical Portuguese recipes: em caldeirada, lagareiro, a portuguesa... Portugal is known worldwide for the quality of its canned fish. This is due to the natural resources easily accessible on the Portuguese coast but also to a high-quality craft tradition.

Here you will only find canned fresh fish, no frozen fish and only fish caught in the Atlantic Ocean on the Portuguese coast. This is the guarantee of canned meaty, tasty and melting fish. You will only find products from traditional Portuguese canneries. Fish are bought at the auctions, filleted and hand-boxed in neat, typically Portuguese packaging. It is the guarantee of a much more attractive experience than simply opening a can of sardines. All this has consequences: it is frequent that our sardines are no longer in stock from March onward. This means that stocks are depleted and the new fishing season has just begun. There is no choice but to wait for these exceptional products.
