José Gourmet Sardines with Lemon in Olive Oil are a bright, flavourful twist on a classic. Caught fresh from the Atlantic and Mediterranean, the sardines are preserved using the traditional pre-cooked method — a time-honoured process that maintains both texture and nutritional value. The addition of lemon infuses the olive oil with a zesty lift, bringing balance to the richness of the fish.
Perfect with a slice of rustic bread or a crisp toast, these sardines pair beautifully with a glass of wine and good conversation. Or enjoy them alone, just as they are — a quiet indulgence and a small act of care. The story behind them is just as charming: a lemon and a sardine fell in love, each visiting the other across land and sea, bound ever since by flavour and feeling.
José Gourmet works with one of Portugal’s oldest canneries, following seasonal harvesting to ensure the fish are preserved at their best. Each tin is wrapped in artwork by Portuguese illustrators, combining quality and design in equal measure.
Made with care in Portugal.
