Nuri

Few brands are as iconic in the world of Portuguese sardines as Nuri.

Produced in Matosinhos since 1920, Nuri has built an international reputation for handcrafted sardines prepared using traditional methods that have remained largely unchanged for over a century. Every tin begins with fresh sardines landed during the fishing season before being hand-cleaned, steamed and individually packed by skilled workers.

Nuri is particularly famous for its lightly spiced sardines, prepared with a closely guarded blend of chilli, cloves, carrot, cucumber and bay leaf that delivers gentle warmth without overpowering the fish. Quality takes precedence over speed. The careful hand-packing process ensures every tin looks as impressive as it tastes, while premium olive oil allows the sardines to mature beautifully with time.

Today, Nuri remains one of the most celebrated names in premium sardines, representing the craftsmanship, authenticity and rich heritage that define Portugal's conservas tradition.
