Specialty: These sardines possess an unmistakable flavor due to their careful preparation, using traditional methods and being meticulously hand-packed, one by one.
The Fish: The Sardina pilchardus is a social species that migrates significantly throughout its life. These migrations allow them to be caught at their optimal time and place, ensuring the best quality.
Preparation Method: The sardines are harvested between August and November using seine fishing, ideally at dawn, to guarantee their peak flavor. Freshly caught, they are prepared using the traditional "a la antigua" recipe, preserving their authentic taste.
Storage After Opening: Once opened, to maintain their flavor for up to two days, it is recommended to refrigerate the sardines, ensuring they are covered and fully submerged in their olive oil. Additional oil can be added if necessary.
