Classic format 4 to 6 sardines. This is the traditional recipe for sardines in olive oil with lemon.
Dietary and culinary tradition from southern Europe, the sardines are drained after frying and then marinated in a high-quality cold-pressed olive oil.
Like fine wine, sardines mature over time and get better the longer they are stored. That's why the vintage of the catch is noted on many cans and is referred to as "vintage sardines". We currently have the vintages 2010 to 2014 on offer. The sardine tastes best when the oil has penetrated it well from all sides. We recommend turning the can every 6 months and opening it after a year at the earliest. You will clearly taste the difference: the riper sardines are much more crumbly and more flavorful and literally melt in your mouth. Younger sardines simply have more bite, the flesh is much firmer and has not absorbed as much oil.
