Roes of Sardine in Olive Oil

Roes of Sardine in Olive Oil

To those who know exactly what they are looking for, the roes must be cooked to perfection, no more, no less. You don’t need to look any further, seriously! You’d better spend your time looking for a good wine or champagne to go with it. The texture, the softness and the unmistakable aroma of the roes are only thrown off balance in breathtaking company!

On a sunny hillside, an olive rolled down only to stop by the sea. She wanted to learn how to swim, but because she didn’t have any fins, a sardine carried her to see the ocean, snuggled in her roes.
