Sardines in organic olive oil from the Basque Country - 270gr

She's our own champion! the one who won the Epicure d'Or 2021 These sardines have reached their adult size and are fished in the winter à la bolinche (near the coast) in France in the Bay of Biscay. They are larger and less fatty than the sardines that we usually find. The sardines are prepared by hand according to the oldest method which dates from 1804 (at the time of the "Penn Sardin"): they are first salted then dried for 3 days before being put raw, by hand, in a verrine. They thus retain all their taste. They are not fried, which makes them more digestible. As for the organic olive oil, it comes from a small mill in Navarre south of Pamplona. It is prepared with olives from Empeltre variety. Sardines, organic extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and it's all! No additives, coloring or other perlimpinpin! A 270g jar is equivalent to approximately 3 classic cans. He can reseal and can be kept for 1 month after opening in the refrigerator.
