La Brújula N122 Small Sardines Do Xeito In Olive Oil

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

These sardines are caught utilizing the Galician Xeito technique, a unique fishing approach which involves a boat drifting loose with a net cloth that catches the sardines as they pass through. The fish are not bruised, and the raw material is not destroyed, as is the case with other fishing methods. These sardines are processed on the same day, preserving their utmost freshness. To obtain the proper texture, these sardines are painstakingly cleaned and gutted before being steam roasted. They are packed one by one and dipped in extra virgin olive oil until they are completely covered.

Undoubtedly one La Brujula’s jewels, these Small Sardines do Xeito in Olive Oil are tender but firm, and have a fresh, slightly salty flavor.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Sardines are a great addition to your pantry because they are simple but delicious. Serve flaky pieces with mustard or pepper on crackers, sauté fillets with garlic, onions, and tomatoes, or place the entire can in a salad.

These sardines are delicious on toast or in open-faced sandwiches. Toss them into your salads or use them to make sardine rillettes. You may use it in savory tarts as well.
