José Gourmet - Sardines in Butter

£7.95

Sardines in Azores Butter

A good tin of sardines in butter feels pretty close to supper. The oils from the fish move through the tin and into the dairy, giving everything the same savoury depth. José Gourmet packs these in butter from the Azores and leaves it at that.

The fish is plump and substantial, with a full sardine flavour running through the dairy richness underneath. Everything lands softer and slower on the palate than you expect from sardines, though the character of the fish stays clear from start to finish.

Warm the sealed tin in freshly boiled water for a few minutes before opening and spoon everything onto soft bread, or open it cold and scoop the contents onto hot toast if you like a cold buttery bite. Have a lemon on hand

Ingredients: Sardines (Sardina pilchardus) (66.6%), butter (pasteurised cream (milk) and salt.

About José Gourmet

José Gourmet connects Portugal's small-scale canneries with international markets through carefully selected premium Portuguese tinned fish. Named for the Hebrew word meaning "one who adds," the brand brings added value to traditional seafood.

Their collection features the Atlantic's quality offerings—Portuguese sardines with clean flavors; mackerel that maintains its character; and traditional tuna preserves that reflect Portugal's fishing expertise.

Designer Luís Mendonça shaped their identity by commissioning artwork from Portuguese illustrators for each label. These distinctive tins are instantly recognisable in specialty shops across Europe and North America. Served simply—with bread, citrus, and a glass of wine—these artisanal conservas deliver an authentic taste of Portugal's coastal traditions.
