These sardines carry the warm, traditional spice profile that Portuguese conservas do so well; gentle chilli warmth, aromatic spice and rich savoury depth sitting comfortably alongside the fish’s natural intensity. The vegetable oil keeps the texture supple and allows the seasoning to coat every bite beautifully.
 
Serve simply with boiled potatoes, pickles and fresh bread, or flake onto toast with butter and sliced tomato. A crisp Vinho Verde pairs perfectly; alternatively, a dry Australian Riesling cuts through the richness nicely.
