Jose Small Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (90g)
These petite sardines (sardinillas) are a beautiful example of less-is-more. Carefully cleaned and hand-packed in high-quality Portuguese extra virgin olive oil, they are tender, savoury, and carry a subtle sweetness that speaks to the freshness of the fish. Their small size makes them perfect for delicate preparations, and the olive oil is just as delicious as the fish.
Food pairing: Try them over steamed rice with soy and lemon, on dark rye with pickled shallots, or served simply on a chilled plate with a glass of wine.
Wine matches:
European: Muscadet Sèvre et Maine (Loire Valley)
Australian: Hunter Valley Semillon with a few years of age
