JOSE GOURMET Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Word has it that the best sardines come from neighbouring waters. From the Atlantic and Mediterranean, we get fresh sardines with a silver shine. Add quality olive oil to wine and dine! Olive oil has always been one of the desired partners in Portuguese cuisine, and only excellent ingredients can aspire to have memorable encounters with such a refined olive oil.
