Sardinha
Sardines in Spicy Olive Oil w/ Malagueta Chili
About This Tin
Sardinha's spicy sardines deliver an extraordinary Portuguese tradition with a fiery twist. Each sardine is artisanally fished, individually selected, and meticulously hand-prepared before being gently steamed according to time-honored methods. Bathed in quality olive oil infused with malagueta chili peppers (rating 60,000-100,000 on the Scoville scale), these plump, perfectly textured sardines build a slow, satisfying heat that enhances rather than masks their natural oceanic richness. You might recognize this exceptional tin from Sardinha's special edition 'Year of the Dragon' release—featuring the same bold flavor profile that made the original a fast-selling standout.
What Makes It Special
- Perfect Heat Balance: The chili-infused oil creates a slow-building warmth that awakens your palate without overwhelming the delicate fish.
- Traditional Craftsmanship: Each tin represents Portuguese conservas expertise—from sustainable fishing practices to meticulous hand-packing that preserves the sardines' integrity.
- Superior Texture: Medium-soft, moist, and tender sardines that hold their shape beautifully when lifted whole from the tin.
Perfect Pairings
- Simple Heat Showcase: Enjoy at room temperature straight from the tin with nothing more than a few flakes of sea salt to experience the pure interplay of fish and gentle spice.
- Spicy Tartine: Layer on toasted sourdough with sliced avocado, which cools the heat while complementing the richness of both the fish and the spiced oil.
- Kick-Started Rice Bowl: Place atop warm rice with quick-pickled vegetables for a satisfying meal where the spicy oil seasons everything it touches.
