Why It’s On Our Shelves
Fiery, flavourful mackerel hand-packed with Portuguese spice
Produced by José Gourmet, these Spiced Small Mackerel in Olive Oil bring warmth and character to traditional Portuguese conservas. Sustainably wild-caught and expertly prepared, tender baby mackerel are carefully hand-packed and preserved in high-quality olive oil infused with chilli and aromatic spices.
The result is rich, savoury mackerel with a gentle, lingering heat that enhances rather than overwhelms the fish’s natural depth. Balanced and deeply flavourful, this is a conserva for those who enjoy bold Mediterranean character with refined spice.
Presented in José Gourmet’s signature artist-designed tin, it’s a standout addition to modern pantry collections — vibrant, giftable and unmistakably gourmet.
