Collection 5 sardines La Quiberonnaise

These vintage sardines were caught in Brittany and pickled freshly caught.
All tins are lovingly designed and are limited editions - this makes them a beautiful gift and a coveted collector's item.

This collection contains the following 5 varieties of vintage sardines :

• in olive oil with ginger
• in olive oil with wasabi
• in olive oil with Casse Pierre seaweed
• in a Creole marinade (spicy)
• in white wine

Like fine wine, sardines mature over time and get better the longer they're stored. That is why the vintage of the catch is noted on many cans and one speaks of "vintage sardines". We currently have the vintages 2010 to 2014 on offer. The sardines taste best when the oil has penetrated them 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 more mature sardines are much tenderer and more flavorful and literally melt in your mouth. Younger sardines simply have more bite, the flesh is much firmer and has not yet absorbed as much oil.

More about vintage sardines

Manufacturer: The Conserverie Artisanale "La Quiberonnaise" was founded in 1921 and is still family-owned today. It is one of the last traditionally working conserveries in France. Methods and recipes are still used here, some of which date back to the 1920s, and all fish are always freshly prepared. La Quiberonnaise makes many vintage sardines in small batches and collaborates with local artists for the can design.
