These wild sardines are responsibly fished by small, local boats off the coast of Portugal, upholding traditional methods that have a low impact on the marine ecosystem. The whole, bone-in sardines are then carefully packed and preserved in high-quality organic sunflower oil, which offers a mild, neutral flavor that complements the natural richness of the fish. As a whole-fish product, it provides an excellent natural source of calcium from the soft, edible bones, in addition to being rich in protein and Omega-3 fatty acids.
