A premium tin of Portuguese sardines with layers of smoke from both the fish and the oil. The sardines are caught sustainably off the Algarve coast and preserved in a low-acidity virgin olive oil blend made from olives grown in neighbouring Alentejo. Excellent on toast, with boiled potatoes, stirred through pasta or eaten straight from the tin.
