La Perle des Dieux was founded in 2005 in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, a once renowned fishing port on the Vendée coast. The two founders are Philippe Gendreau, whose family has been in the sardine business for four generations, and Claudie Vardelle, a passionate gourmet and former branch manager at a Parisian fashion store.

The love of sardines is the driving force behind la Perle des Dieux, which is why all products are carefully made by hand and only the freshest sardines are ever processed. Only vintage sardines are produced, which get better with time, and the design of each edition is created by selected young female artists. This reflects the feminine side of sardine production – because women have always been the main workforce in the factories.

All products are handcrafted from carefully selected ingredients according to traditional original recipes and impress with their great taste.

Even the ancient Romans prized sardines and ate them salted, marinated, or smoked. To this day, the sardine—when quality and preparation are right—remains a premium product.
For the sheer pleasure of it, you should by no means miss out on the many other wonderful varieties created from the incomparably rich range of flavors available in canned sardines: sardines in a fruity sauce, in white wine, in butter, with water and lemon… Give them a try!
The sardine is still the focal point of many port cities in Brittany, as well as in Spain and Portugal. It is not considered an endangered species.
