Cantara - Sardines in Tomato Sauce
Portuguese sardines in a rich tomato sauce.
These sardines come in a vibrant tomato sauce with genuine depth of flavour. The sauce balances beautifully with the natural oils in the fish, each enhancing the other. The sardines maintain their firm texture and sweet flavour as a result of being tinned within hours of the catch from local day boats.
They're excellent served over brown rice with olive oil and herbs for a quick, satisfying meal. For something equally simple, try them on thick toast with a few slices of pickled cucumber. Cantara's family-run operation in Matosinhos, the historic cannery district northeast of Porto, continues Portugal's long Atlantic fishing tradition in a region that once housed over 50 fish processors, where generations of artisans work with carefully sourced ingredients.
Ingredients:Sardines (Sardina Pilchardus) (fish) min. 75%, Water, Tomato Concentrate (10%), Olive Oil (4%), Salt.
