I didn't usually buy oil sardine cans very aggressively, but I want to eat them every day! Introducing the oil sardine can of Portugal "La Gondola" that changes the image of sardines.

In Japan, Porto do Porto, which handles imported foods from Portugal, sells 6 types of products, including standard olive oil pickles, vegetable sauces, and tomatoes. The feature is that all of them do not use any additives such as preservatives and coloring agents.


This is "Oil Sardine with Lemon". The first thing that surprises me when I open the lid is the size of the sardines, which is twice as big as I imagined! You can feel the freshness of the material from the sardines, which are plump, soft and have no fishy odor. Although the lemon has a sour taste, it is hardly seasoned, so it's nice to be able to adjust the amount of salt to your liking.


Next, "Oil Sardine with Vegetable Sauce" is a can of olive oil with an original sauce of onions, vinegar, red pepper, tomatoes, etc. pickled in vinegar. I put salt and pepper, garlic, cheese and herbs on it and heated the whole can in the oven (or grilled fish). You can enjoy a fashionable dish that seems to come out in the bar, where everything enhances the taste of sardines.




Oil sardine cans packed with the blessings of Portugal can be purchased from the official online shopping site, "Afternoon tea GIFT & LIVING" and "AKOMEYA TOKYO". The price is a little high at 780 yen (excluding tax) per can, but the packaging is also fashionable, so it is recommended as a gift for gourmets!
