Sardines with Chili

La Belle Iloise – Sardines with two types of chili

The La Belle Iloise sardines with chili are fine sardines, delicately seasoned with two types of chili. Balanced in the spirit of Conserverie La Belle Iloise. The chilies are not there to overpower the taste of the sardines; they are meant to enhance it. The two different varieties make the flavor particularly complex. The lemon brings a fruity-sour note, the chilies provide a fruity spiciness, and the extra virgin olive oil rounds off the whole experience. A colorful feast of flavors! The sardines with two types of chili taste great on hearty black bread or delicately with a green salad.

Sardines with Chili – Canned Fish from Quiberon

La Belle Iloise is a family business on the Breton Atlantic coast in northern France, whose name is famous far beyond the borders of France for its special canned fish. Founded in 1932 by Georges Hilliet not far from the fishing port of Quiberon, freshly caught, high-quality fish have been traditionally cleaned, deboned, and finally canned by nimble hands there for more than 85 years. Here, the traditional craft of "Conserverie," the production of canned fish, is passed down from generation to generation and thus preserved. After all, canning is a really good way to preserve fish such as sardines, tuna, mackerel, and lobster without preservatives or artificial additives, while maintaining their high quality.

Today, the founder's granddaughter, Caroline Hilliet Le Branchou, leads La Belle Iloise, which employs between 400-800 people depending on the season. Conserverie La Belle-Iloise has remained a family business that, as before, places importance on the quality of its products and working conditions. Caroline continues it with the same philosophy and love for good products, without sacrificing innovation, so new, creative products are developed. The many recipes make La Belle Iloise unique, whether with high-quality cold-pressed olive oil, with lemon, green pepper, olive tapenade, Bayonne ham, or in Muscadet wine, all are a delicacy and, in their beautiful, nostalgic cans, also a visual delight.
