How are these sardines sourced and packed?

Matiz selects wild-caught sardines from responsible fisheries in the Eastern Atlantic, where local crews use methods that protect marine life cycles. The fish are brought to Galicia and hand-packed by skilled cannery teams who preserve texture and flavor through careful handling and quality olive oil.

• Wild-caught in the Eastern Atlantic using low-impact techniques
• Hand-packed in Galicia by experienced canners
• Preserved in Spanish olive oil with piri piri chili
• 3–5 whole sardines per 4.2 oz tin for a substantial serving

What does the taste and texture profile offer?

Expect plump, tender fillets with a clean sea flavor and a warm, peppery kick from piri piri chilis. Olive oil keeps the flesh moist and carries savory, slightly fruity notes that balance the heat.

• Moist, tender flesh that flakes easily for immediate use
• Piri piri gives a balanced, lingering spice rather than overwhelming heat
• Olive oil adds smoothness and helps preserve flavor
• Ideal straight from the tin or as an ingredient in dishes

How can I use these sardines in meals and snacks?

They’re ready to eat right from the tin, making them perfect for quick snacks, picnic supplies, or elevated sandwiches. Use them on warm toast with avocado, as a protein-rich salad topper, folded into pasta, or as a flavorful addition to grain bowls.

• Serve on crusty bread with sliced onion and avocado for a fast open-faced sandwich
• Toss into pasta with lemon, herbs and reserved oil for a simple main
• Combine with greens and citrus vinaigrette as a hearty salad booster
• Pack the easy-open tins for hiking, travel, or office lunches
