Porthos Spicy Sardines
For those who like a little fire, these sardines come with a kick of chilli heat. Bold, punchy, and satisfying, they’re an instant flavour upgrade for simple meals.
Food recommendation: Try them straight from the tin with good bread and butter, or stirred into a tomato-based stew for extra depth.
Wine matches: A chilled Portuguese rosado (rosé) complements the spice; in Australia, a zippy Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc cools the palate beautifully.
