Los Peperetes Sardines in Olive Oil are a classic Spanish staple elevated to gourmet status. Sourced from the waters off the Galician coast, these small, silvery sardines are prized for their tender texture, rich flavour, and nutritional value. Once landed, they’re cleaned by hand, lightly steamed, and carefully arranged in each tin before being bathed in high-quality Spanish olive oil.
The result is a beautifully balanced conserva where the sardines’ natural umami shines through. The olive oil adds depth and silkiness, allowing the full character of the fish to develop over time—each tin only gets better with age. The sardines themselves are plump and firm, yet delicate on the palate, with a clean finish that speaks to their freshness and the artisanal care that goes into every step of the process.
Los Peperetes takes pride in producing conservas the traditional Galician way, in small batches with meticulous attention to detail. Their sardines have earned acclaim not just in Spain but internationally, praised for their consistency, presentation, and full-flavoured, melt-in-the-mouth quality.
Enjoy these sardines straight from the tin on warm toast or crackers, with a squeeze of lemon or a dash of sea salt. They also make a fantastic addition to salads, pasta, or rice dishes—or served simply as part of a tapas spread with pickled vegetables and a crisp glass of Albariño or fino sherry.
For lovers of traditional conservas done exceptionally well, Los Peperetes Sardines in Olive Oil are a must. They’re a timeless, honest pleasure—rich in flavour, steeped in heritage, and packed with the essence of Galicia’s sea.
