Independently verified catch from the Northeast Atlantic, paired with olive oil from controlled organic cultivation instead of conventional oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMSC Sardines in organic extra virgin olive oil\u003c\/strong\u003e are oil-packed sardines from A Banca da Sardinha in Lisbon, whose catch is independently verified according to the MSC standard. The \u003cem\u003eSardina pilchardus\u003c\/em\u003e comes from fishing area FAO 27, the Northeast Atlantic off the Portuguese coast. In the tin, they are preserved in organic extra virgin olive oil, with the addition of organic salt. Three ingredients, two inspection bodies, one tin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTender in bite, mild in finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese sardines have a clear, calm taste, without smoke or heat, with a hint of green from the organic olive oil in the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the oil is not just an infusion but the second voice in the tin. It introduces a slightly grassy, finely bitter note, typical of good olive oil from the south, and layers it beneath the salty maritime flavor of the fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fillets remain firm without becoming dry, and they detach cleanly from the backbone with a fork. If you usually reach for spiced varieties, you will notice the difference immediately here: nothing pushes its way to the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn bread, in pasta, alongside an egg\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToasted sourdough bread with a bit of lemon is the obvious accompaniment, a chilled Vinho Verde the perfect glass to go with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, add the fillets late to warm dishes so they stay whole, for example in a pasta with garlic and parsley or on baked potatoes. Served next to a soft-boiled egg and a few pickled onions, the tin becomes a complete dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil remains afterward and has absorbed the flavor of the fish; it belongs in a dressing, not down the drain. Once you have opened the tin, the leftovers will keep for two days if covered in the refrigerator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo seals of approval on a colorful tin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Banca da Sardinha belongs to Lisbon's Mediterran Food and Beverage, which has managed the brand since 2007 and has since expanded its range to 17 recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fish is brought in fresh from the coast and is cleaned by hand on the same day, then precooked according to the traditional Portuguese method and placed in the tin by hand. It is caught using a purse seine, a net that specifically encircles a school of fish and keeps bycatch to a minimum. It is precisely this fishing method that the MSC label verifies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes this version from its siblings are the two certifications behind it. The certificate MSC-C-66787 verifies the origin from verified fisheries, while the organic inspection body PT-BIO-03 stands behind the olive oil. Like all others from the brand, the tin is wrapped by hand in colorful paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose looking for the straightforward classic without organic oil will find it in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sardinha-sardinen-in-olivenoel\"\u003eSardines in Olive Oil\u003c\/a\u003e; the entire \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/a-banca-da-sardinha\"\u003eA Banca da Sardinha range\u003c\/a\u003e and other \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/sardinen-aus-portugal\"\u003esardines from Portugal\u003c\/a\u003e are available on the shelf alongside.
