These sardinillas may be small in size, but they’re big on flavour. Hand-packed in high-quality olive oil and seasoned with a gentle but assertive hit of piri-piri, they strike a beautiful balance between rich, meaty fish and warming spice. The heat is subtle enough not to overwhelm, making this a versatile tin for lovers of bold but nuanced conservas.
 
Food pairing: Enjoy them warm on crusty bread with a swipe of aioli, stirred through spaghetti aglio e olio, or layered into a grain bowl with charred vegetables and lemony yoghurt.
 
Wine matches:
European: A youthful Douro red with spice and lift
Australian: McLaren Vale GSM with bright fruit and savoury depth
