Classic format 4 to 6 sardines. These sardines in tomato sauce are particularly popular with children, and adults don't turn them down either.
In the composition of the tomato sauce, La Quiberonnaise uses exclusively the double tomato concentrate from Louis Martin, a French brand based in Montreux in Provence since 1918.
This very mild and acid-free tomato sauce goes perfectly with these fresh, hand-prepared sardines.
Like good wine, sardines mature over time and get better the longer they are stored. That's why the year of the catch is noted on many cans and they are 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. To do this, 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 more crumbly and have a more intense flavor and practically melt in your mouth. Younger sardines simply have more bite, the meat is much firmer and has not absorbed as much oil.
