Small Sardines

Our Canned Sardines stand out for their attractive silvery appearance and their magnificent presentation with their characteristic and intense flavor: perfectly clean, shiny, tasty, with a soft, and juicy texture. To make the cans we have chosen small sardines, the most appreciated.

The species we use at Serrats is Sardina Pilchardus, with an elongated body and an oval shape. With its distinctive and intense flavor, our canned sardines stand out for their attractive silvery appearance and excellent presentation: perfectly cleaned, shiny, and flavorful, with a soft and juicy texture. For the production of these tins, we have selected small sardines, the most highly valued.

We could say that, on a nutritional level, Sardines take the gold medal. They contain a high concentration of vitamin B12, as well as vitamins A, D, K and E. Likewise, they are an important source of protein, sodium, phosphorus, iodine and calcium.

One of the most notable properties of sardines is their high content of Omega 3 and oleic acid. Recommended to take care of the heart, reduce the level of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, regulate blood pressure, or prevent degenerative diseases. In addition, Omega 3 fatty acids are also considered powerful anti-inflammatory agents. Without a doubt, including canned sardines in your diet is a great idea.

After fishing, we select the best sardines, and we call the smaller ones, our favorites, “Sardinillas txikis” (“small” in Basque). We clean them meticulously by hand, removing heads and viscera. They are then steam roasted, as was done in the past, to achieve the desired texture and flavor. Finally, we put the sardines into the can one by one, by hand, so that their presentation is impeccable when we open them. Then, we add the olive oil alone or with different touches of flavor: spicy, lemon, Espelette paprika...

Finally, the cans of sardines go through the sterilization process. This will turn them into preserves and allow them to remain in perfect condition for years and gain even more flavor inside the can.

Canned Small Sardines does not need any special conditions for its maintenance. You can store it in the pantry or in a closet. Of course, once the can of Small Sardines has been opened, we recommend keeping it in the refrigerator, covered in oil, and consuming it within three or four days.
