100 years of La Quiberonnaise - vintage sardines

Heavily limited collector's edition

La Quiberonnaise is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year with three new limited edition collectible tins, drawn from a special one from a special anniversary vintage (2021) that will be released in mid-September 2021.
The cans form an aesthetic triptych with a uniform color scheme and the same horizon line respected by three famous caricaturists and illustrators.

There is a motif by Gilbert Shelton, the world-renowned artist for his Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, characters picked up by the alternative press worldwide, who has recreated an old van.

There is also a motif by Frank Margerin author of the famous Lucien (Fluide Glacial Editor). He illustrated one of the 3 boxes of a motorcycle of the time, a nod to a great Italian brand that also celebrates its centenary this year!

And there is also a motif by Denis Lelièvre dit Pic, draftsman and sculptor, who drew a boat unloading the crates of fresh sardines

Even the ancient Romans valued sardines and ate them salted, marinated or smoked. To this day, the sardine is and will remain a high-quality product if the quality and production methods are right. Thanks to their short lifespan, they have absorbed very few pollutants from the sea and have a high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements. 100g of sardines (about 8 fish) contain 40% of the recommended daily dose of calcium and 100% of the vitamin D necessary to absorb the trace elements. In order for the human body to be able to absorb all of these valuable nutrients, it is essential that the sardine is preserved in high-quality olive oil, because only this oil allows the human body to break it down and metabolize it.

For the sake of enjoyment, however, you should definitely not do without the many other great creations from the incomparably rich range of flavors of canned sardines: sardines in a fruity sauce, in white wine, in butter, with water and lemon... try it out!

The sardine is still the linchpin of many port cities in Brittany, but also in Spain and Portugal. Fortunately, however, it is not in danger of extinction and can be enjoyed without regret.

More about vintage sardines

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.
