José Gourmet Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

José Gourmet began in 2008 with a single mission: to change what people thought tinned fish could be. From the smallest fish cannery in Portugal, just south of Porto, they source fair-trade sardines from markets along the Iberian Atlantic coast, prepare them entirely by hand and seal the tins on the very same day the fish lands.

These sardines in extra virgin olive oil are the range's cornerstone — clean, honest and beautifully executed. Sardina pilchardus, whole, in a smooth extra virgin olive oil that carries the flavour of the fish without competing with it.

Eat on good bread with a glass of wine, pack into a picnic, or put on a board and let them be discovered. The iconic illustrated packaging earns a place on the table before you've even opened the tin.
