Description
These La Narval sardinillas (Sardina pilchardus) are widely regarded as the finest sardine species for conservas, valued for their flavour, texture, and natural fat balance. Sourced from local Portuguese waters, the sardines are caught by artisanal coastal fleets operating small boats that fish and return the same day, ensuring peak freshness and a responsible catch.
Each sardine is cleaned by hand and cooked prior to canning, a traditional step that sets the flesh and delivers a clean, consistent texture. Preserved in olive oil with fresh lemon slices, the preparation adds brightness and lift while keeping the focus on the fish.
Suitable for tapas, salads, or simple plated dishes. Best served at room temperature.
