José Gourmet Small Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil are a celebration of tradition, storytelling and flavour. Known affectionately as “petinga” in Portugal — or “esquilha” in the south, where even children in fishing families were once called by the same name — these small sardines carry a sense of place and memory.
Each tin holds 90 grams of tender sardines, carefully sourced from Portugal or Spain depending on the season. Preserved in rich extra virgin olive oil, they are best enjoyed as part of a simple lunch, a late afternoon snack, or supper shared with good company. The fish are delicate yet full of character, offering both nourishment and nostalgia in every bite.
A timeless pairing, brought closer than ever. Made in Portugal or Spain.
