La Curiosa Spicy Sardines in Olive Oil (Sardinas Picantes en Aceite de Oliva) take the timeless Galician conserva and turn up the heat—just enough to awaken the palate without overpowering the delicate flavour of the fish. These sardines are caught off the cold, clean waters of the Galician coast, chosen for their ideal size and freshness, then prepared using traditional methods that honour the region’s rich culinary heritage.
Once steamed and cleaned by hand, the sardines are gently packed in high-quality Spanish olive oil infused with chilli. The result is a tin bursting with bold, balanced flavour: the natural umami of the sardines complemented by the warmth of the oil and a gentle kick of spice that lingers on the tongue. It’s a moreish, mouth-tingling twist on a classic, with just the right amount of fire.
As always, La Curiosa pairs artisanal quality with playful, stylish presentation—offering conservas that are as visually appealing as they are delicious. Their approach combines respect for traditional Galician seafood with a modern flair that makes each tin feel special.
Enjoy these spicy sardines on their own with crusty bread, layered over grilled vegetables, or tossed through a simple pasta with garlic and herbs. They also add a fantastic depth of flavour to rice dishes or make a standout tapa paired with a crisp Albariño or an ice-cold beer.
For those who love their conservas with a bit of heat, La Curiosa Spicy Sardines in Olive Oil offer a fiery, flavour-packed journey into the heart of Galicia—bold, vibrant, and utterly irresistible.
