The range is broader than most Portuguese brands: whole sardines in olive oil, sardine fillets in extra virgin olive oil, organic sardines, and sardines au naturel. Production remains in the original Algarve facility.

The heritage is real and the sourcing is transparent. Available direct and through specialty importers.
