The best-before date for vintage sardines
High-quality vintage sardines have a minimum shelf life of 4 to 10 years from the date of bottling, depending on the manufacturer. However, unlike conventional canned sardines, these are designed for significantly longer storage.
Maturation like that of fine wine
Much like fine wine, vintage sardines develop over time. Stored in high-quality olive oil, the oil permeates the fish, making it increasingly tender and melting. The flavors become more complex and balanced, while the initial iodine note softens. Many connoisseurs appreciate sardines most after 5, 10, or even 15 years.
Proper storage
For optimal maturation, an intact can (without dents, rust, or bulges) is required. Store the cans in a cool, dark place at a stable temperature. Turning them over every six months ensures even oil penetration.
Conclusion
The best-before date is a legal requirement, but not an expiration date. For vintage sardines, it marks the beginning of their flavor development.
Sardines Millésimées 2020 in a very limited series.
Nuri is a brand of Conserveira Pinhais in Matosinhos, Portugal.
The best catches of the year are processed with the highest quality ingredients.
Each can is stored for at least 12 months to receive the “RESERVA” rating. During this time the sardines become even more tender thanks to the pure olive oil and become an extraordinary fish delicacy.
The sardines from 2020 are currently available in a strictly limited edition.
Nuri RESERVA particularly stands for the unique Nuri quality, because the processed sardines go through a particularly careful selection process. Only those sardines that have all the aging properties are hand-selected.
As with all Nuri products, they are made by hand in Portugal. Each Nuri vintage sardine is marinated in pure olive oil and spices for at least 12 months and then impresses with its exceptionally delicate taste.
