El Club del Gourmet Small Sardines in Olive Oil – 15/19 pieces 115g

El Club del Gourmet's small sardines are hand-selected for their delicate size and firm texture. Each tin holds 15 to 19 whole sardines packed in extra virgin olive oil, a format prized by Spanish cooks for its versatility and refinement. The smaller sardines are naturally tender, with less pronounced fishiness than larger varieties, making them ideal for those who appreciate subtle flavor.

About this product

These sardines are sourced from sustainable Atlantic and Mediterranean fisheries and preserved immediately after catching to lock in freshness. The generous olive oil ensures they keep their soft flesh and silky finish. This is the tin you reach for when you want a simple tapa, a refined salad garnish, or the foundation of a Spanish seafood plate.

How to enjoy

• Arrange on toasted bread with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of fleur de sel for a classic Spanish tapa.
• Flake gently into a warm salad of white beans, red onion, and sherry vinegar.
• Layer onto a platter with smoked paprika, marinated anchovies, and aged Manchego cheese.
• Pair with a chilled Albariño or dry Manzanilla sherry.

⭐ Why we love this

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve chilled alongside a crisp Albariño from Rías Baixas or a bone-dry Manzanilla sherry from Sanlúcar de Barrameda—the wine's salinity cuts through the oil's richness while amplifying the sardine's subtle brine. Perfect for an aperitivo hour or as the star of a seafood-forward tapas spread.
