NURI Classic Portuguese Sardines in Olive Oil

The best place to start with NURI is its most classic tin. No added seasoning – the quality of the fish shows the moment the tin is opened.

Plump sardines preserved in olive oil. The first impression is the fish itself – fresh, rich and silky – before the olive oil brings out a soft fruitiness. The flesh is substantial without being dry, with a clean taste of the sea.

Its appeal lies in its simplicity. With no chilli or lemon competing for attention, the sardine takes centre stage, together with the aroma it shares with the olive oil.

Excellent straight from the tin, with sourdough, tomatoes and olives, or tossed through pasta with the oil from the tin. With good olive-oil sardines, the oil is part of the dish.
