Jose Gourmet Smoked Sardines in EVOO
About This Tin
Jose Gourmet's Smoked Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil are a lovely addition to the world of tinned fish—true sardines (Sardina pilchardus) that have undergone a gentle smoking process before being preserved in premium olive oil. Unlike the more common smoked sprats found throughout the market, these authentic Portuguese sardines deliver a subtle smokiness that evokes memories of beachside cooking—just enough to enhance their natural richness without overwhelming their delicate oceanic character.
Each tin represents Jose Gourmet's unwavering commitment to preserving Portugal's rich conservas heritage through exceptional quality and thoughtful preparation. Harvested from the abundant Atlantic coast, these select sardines are carefully smoked and hand-prepared according to traditional methods that honor generations of Portuguese seafood craftsmanship. The marriage of this meticulous process with designer Luis Mendonça's artistic packaging creates a complete sensory experience where substance and style achieve perfect harmony—a philosophy that guides every aspect of the Jose Gourmet brand.
What Makes It Special
- Balanced Smokiness: The careful smoking process imparts just enough aromatic depth without masking the sardines' natural flavor—creating an elegant profile rather than an overwhelming smokehouse character.
- Artisanal Preparation: Each tin contains hand-selected and manually prepared sardines, reflecting Portugal's proud tradition of small-batch, artisanal seafood preservation.
Perfect Pairings
- Portuguese Picnic Board: Serve alongside crusty bread, sheep's milk cheese, briny olives, and fresh tomatoes for a simple yet elegant spread that highlights their subtle smokiness.
- Smoked Sardine Toast: Layer over toasted rustic bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with the tin's olive oil, topped with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and fresh herbs.
- Mediterranean Grain Bowl: Incorporate into a warm farro salad with roasted red peppers, preserved lemon, and toasted pine nuts for a hearty, flavor-packed meal.
