Real Conservera Española Small Sardines in Olive Oil

Real Conservera Española is recognised as one of the finest seafood conserva producers in all of Spain, admired by chefs and gourmet shops worldwide for their meticulous craftsmanship, sustainable sourcing, and uncompromising standards. Their Small Sardines in Olive Oil are a perfect representation of this excellence.

These sardines, Sardina pilchardus, come exclusively from the cold, nutrient-rich estuaries of Galicia. They are caught using traditional, sustainable coastal fishing methods during the precise moment of the season when the fish carry more natural fat. This ensures a tender texture, rich flavour, and exceptional nutritional value. Each sardine is cleaned and eviscerated by hand with great care to avoid damage. They are then washed in brine and gently toasted in the traditional manner, which enhances aroma and gives the fish their characteristic firmness and sheen.

Once perfectly prepared, the sardines are packed by hand into the tin with a blend of refined and virgin olive oil that protects their delicate structure and amplifies their natural marine sweetness. With a six-year shelf life, the flavour develops beautifully over time.
