Sales unit: Can of 115g

In stock
Juicy sardines, generously braised in butter, with the delicious aroma of roasted buckwheat that makes it crackle slightly in the pan, all seasoned with a squeeze of lemon that rounds off this dish perfectly.
To allow them to develop their full flavour, place the closed can in lukewarm water for a few minutes.
Now put the contents of the can into a pan and carefully heat the fish over a low heat so that the meat does not lose its consistency.
Alternatively, you can reheat the sardines in the oven or microwave.
Tip: Also available as a collection of 6 – an original gift!
Eating sardines warm is an old Breton tradition. Heating them brings out the fish's aroma in a particularly intense way. At Belle-Iloise, all sardines are caught with a bolinche, a special net, and are processed immediately while still fresh. Before olive oil began its triumphant advance around the world, Breton sardines were mostly marinated in butter or Muscadet wine.
However, for the sake of enjoyment, you should definitely not miss out on the many other great creations of the incomparably rich flavor spectrum of canned sardines: sardines in fruity sauce, in white wine, in butter, with water and lemon... Try it out!
The sardine is still the focal point of many port cities in Brittany, but also in Spain and Portugal. Fortunately, it is not threatened with extinction and can be enjoyed without regret.
