Smoked Small Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Smoked Small Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Our small sardines are fished in the Atlantic and Mediterranean oceans and bring alone all the quality of fresh fish. After that, a refined and carefully prepared mixture is added, they go through the smoking chamber, and premium quality olive oil is added as well.

This mouth-watering delicacy will make your taste buds tingle, accompanied by a glass of delicious Portuguese wine and friendly company at the table.

The sardines turned round and round in the can. They wanted to be different from their neighbours. They fought and fought, and the discussion caught fire! Well, where there is fire, there is smoke, and smoke always gets the good-looking ones first.
