Pollastrini Sardines in Tomato and Olive Oil
This classic Italian tin brings together plump Mediterranean sardines, rich tomato sauce, and extra virgin olive oil for a perfectly balanced and comforting flavour. The tomato adds gentle sweetness and acidity that lift the richness of the sardines, while the olive oil rounds it out with a smooth, savoury depth. The result is a deliciously Mediterranean combination that feels like summer in every bite

Serving Suggestion & Wine Match
Serve these sardines warmed through and spooned over toasted ciabatta with a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh basil, or toss through spaghetti with garlic and chilli for an easy midweek pasta. They pair beautifully with a crisp Italian white such as Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi or, closer to home, a bright and zesty Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc.
 
Pollastrini di Anzio
Pollastrini is one of Italy’s great names in sardines, with a history stretching back to 1889 when they began canning fish along the coast of Anzio, south of Rome. They’re known for their commitment to using only fresh, locally caught Mediterranean sardines, carefully cleaned and hand-packed within hours of landing. Each tin captures the distinct flavour of the Italian coastline — simple, pure, and deeply satisfying. Pollastrini has earned a cult following across Europe for its bold, authentic flavours and old-school quality that feels straight from a seaside trattoria.
