Ortiz Large Sardines in Olive Oil (190g)

Very high quality tinned sardines with superb flavour, texture and very appealing visual appearance.

Caught and processed on the same day for optimum freshness. Lightly fried in oil. Buttery and tender.

These premium sardines are sourced daily from northern Spain’s coastal auction houses and tinned just hours after being caught. Hand-cleaned, lightly fried, and preserved in olive oil, they develop a rich depth of flavour during a four-month marination. With a melting, buttery texture and intensely savoury taste, they’re perfect for tapas platters, artisan sandwiches, or served on toasted bread with piquillo peppers.

They are briefly fried in oil before being tinned in olive oil. “A la antigua” describes those products on which the silver skin is kept on the fish.
