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.
