Sardines caught off the coast of Portugal, preserved in olive oil with a hint of lemon, hand-packed and wrapped in lovely retro-style paper.

Why I love it

• Canning is made as soon as the fishing is over and as proof, you will notice the freshness of the product at one glance
• The texture, both fleshy and melt-in-the-mouth
• The taste of sardine is reinforced by olive oil and the small note of lemon

• The design of the packaging in a lovely vintage and tyîcally Portuguese style

 

The reputation of these Tricana preserves is based on the rejection of mass production and the respect of traditional manufacturing methods. It is only during the fishing season, starting in April of each year, that these sardines are canned. Their origin is clear: the North Atlantic coast of Portugal. This is the guarantee of a healthy, fleshy and sufficiently fatty fish preserved in olive oil.

My small tip: A best before date is always indicated on the cans, but sardines in olive oil can be stored for several years because they improve with age. Boxes must be returned regularly.
