From Portugal’s long-established Berthe cannery comes this timeless tin of sardine fillets, carefully prepared and preserved in smooth olive oil. The fillets are tender yet firm, offering a clean, pure expression of sardine flavour without overpowering notes – a classic conserva that highlights the natural richness of the fish while letting the olive oil bring balance and depth.
 
Serving suggestion: Enjoy them straight from the tin on warm sourdough toast with a squeeze of lemon, or fold into a simple pasta with garlic and parsley for a quick, elegant meal. They’re also excellent in a niçoise-style salad with olives, green beans, and hard-boiled egg.
 
Wine pairings:
A Vinho Verde from northern Portugal, with its crisp acidity and gentle spritz, matches the freshness of the sardines beautifully.
For a local Australian option, a Clare Valley Riesling provides the same clean, zesty lift, cutting through the richness of the olive oil.
 
Ingredients: Sardines (fish), extra virgin olive oil, olives and salt.
