La Curiosa - Small Sardines in Olive Oil with Lemon

£7.25

Sardinillas in Olive Oil with Lemon

Do these small fish have the power to change literature? Did Galician-Portuguese become the language of love poetry across all of Iberia because court troubadours kept eating sardines like these ones and discovered that Castilian simply didn't have words delicate enough to describe what they'd tasted?

Alfonso X's poets wrote exclusively in Galician-Portuguese not from political convenience, but because these small silver fish demanded a language that could capture their delicate saltiness. Easy to see why these sardines sent medieval poets searching for new words.

Lemon joins the olive oil, creating brightness that lifts the sardines without masking their character. Citrus and seafood continuing their centuries old collaboration.

Ingredients: Sardines (Sardina Pilchardus) (fish) Olive Oil (32,8%), lemon and salt.

About La Curiosa

La Curiosa offers a refreshing counterpoint in the Spanish tinned fish landscape—a young brand without multi-generational tales yet deeply connected to Galician canning craft. Founded by Cristobal Fernández, whose mother's 15-year cannery career sparked his fascination, this brand balances respect for tradition with youthful energy.

What makes La Curiosa stand out is their commitment to producing exclusively in Portomar's factories surrounding Ría de Arousa—Galicia's seafood heartland. Their quality Galician conservas maintain time-honoured techniques, including rarely seen processes like fish roasting, while bringing fresh perspective to a traditionally conservative industry.

Each Spanish tinned delicacy features seafood from Galician waters at peak seasonality, following the natural rhythms of the sea rather than market demands. Their approach is decidedly hands-on—pieces carefully selected and positioned by skilled workers to ensure proper presentation and flavour, with sauces made from traditional recipes using only natural ingredients.
