Only the first sardines of the 2022 season are used for this preserve, which are caught on the Concarneau coast and freshly marinated in first-class olive oil.

One can purchased = €0.40 donated to the SNSM of Trévignon : an original initiative led by the players of the historic fishing industry of Concarneau. The SNSM of Trévignon works daily for safety, training and rescue at sea.

Limited edition – only while stocks last!

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.
