Organic sardines in olive oil and Espelette pepper PDO - 270g

The star of Jean de Luz from the Auction of Saint Jean de Luz! These sardines have reached their adult size and are caught in winter with purse seine nets (near the coast) in France in the Bay of Biscay.&nbspThey are larger and less fatty than the sardines we usually find. The sardines are prepared by hand using the oldest method, dating back to 1804 (the era of "Penn Sardin"): they are first salted and then dried for three days before being placed raw, by hand, in jars.&nbspThis way, they retain all their flavor.&nbspThey are not fried, which makes them more digestible. The organic olive oil comes from a small mill in Navarre, south of Pamplona. It is prepared with Empeltre variety olives. Sardines, organic extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, the chili sardines are seasoned with organic Espelette PDO chili pepper which spices them up very slightly. No additives, no colorings, no other nonsense! A 270g jar is equivalent to approximately 3 standard cans. It can be resealed and stored for 1 month after opening in the refrigerator. -JEAN DE LUZ CANNERY IS: An organic, artisanal, and local cannery.
