Nuri is a brand of Conserveira Pinhais & Co. from Matosinhos, north of Porto. Here one remains with a lot of pride, true to the traditional production method. Everything is done manually, very carefully in many work steps. The quality and taste of the canned sardines speaks for itself. Everything fresh, pleasant smell. Pinhais buys fresh sardines every day and fresh ingredients: carrots, piri-piri, laurel, pepper etc...
The sardines are steamed to get less fat at the end. They are then canned with a good olive oil from Tràs-os-Montes and individually wrapped by hand.
Pinhais celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2020 and on this occasion opened the first & only sardine museum in Portugal.
We've been there before, it's worth a visit.

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!
