An exotic touch for the classic sardine

These fine premium sardines from La Belle-Iloise are a real highlight for the curious and for gourmets. As part of an exclusive, limited spice collection from the renowned Breton manufacturer, this creation offers an extraordinary taste experience that takes the classic canned fish to a whole new level.

The rarity of São Tomé pepper

The secret of this recipe lies in the choice of pepper. The fine São Tomé pepper comes from the island nation of the same name off the west coast of Africa and is considered an absolute rarity. Unlike classic black pepper, it is characterized by a mild, fruity and almost floral aroma. It gives the delicate fish flesh a nuanced, warm spice without developing a biting heat.

Perfectly balanced with light rapeseed oil and lime

So as not to steal the show from the fine pepper, these sardines are preserved in light, neutral rapeseed oil (22%). A splash of fresh lime juice provides an elegant acidity that perfectly balances and refreshes the warm pepper note.

Artisanal perfection from Quiberon

The sardines are caught off the Breton coast during the high season and processed within just 24 hours while still fresh and with elaborate craftsmanship. Carefully cleaned, pre-cooked and accurately placed in the can, they guarantee flawless quality and texture.

Enjoyment tip: Best enjoyed completely plain straight from the can, accompanied by a slice of toasted bread. They also add an exciting, exotic twist to a light summer salad or perfectly round off a dish with fresh pasta.
