Sardines in Olive Oil by Pinhais
Heritage-packed sardines from Portugal’s most iconic cannery
Pinhais Sardines are the gold standard of Portuguese tinned fish. Still made by hand in Matosinhos since 1920, these sardines are wild-caught, expertly cleaned, and canned within hours to preserve their natural flavour and texture. Packed in high-quality olive oil, they’re rich, tender, and beautifully balanced — perfect for tapas, grazing boards, or enjoying straight from the tin.
Each tin is a testament to time-honoured craftsmanship, with every step done by hand to ensure quality and authenticity.
