Classic format: 4 to 6 sardines. This is the traditional recipe for sardines in olive oil.
Dietary and culinary tradition from southern Europe, the sardines are drained after frying and then marinated in high-quality cold-pressed olive oil.
Like fine wine, sardines mature over time and become better the longer they are aged. That's why many cans are labeled with the year of the catch and are referred to as "vintage sardines."
Sardines taste best when the oil has thoroughly penetrated them on all sides. To achieve this, we recommend turning the can every 6 months and opening it after at least one year.
You'll definitely taste the difference: the more mature sardines are significantly more tender and flavorful, practically melting in your mouth. Younger sardines simply have more bite, the meat is much firmer, and hasn't absorbed as much oil yet.
