French sardines “Mademoiselle Perle en fleurs”, 2023, 115g

Product detailed description

Like a good wine, La Perle des Dieux sardines age and gain quality over time. Each year is unique, as the taste can vary from year to year. Weather, water temperature, sea currents and the taste of the olive oil are all factors that will affect the flavor notes of the vintage, so feel free to try and compare.

The limited edition sardines are decorated with unique images by local artists Delphine Cossais and Coralie Joulin, who draw the adventures of Miss Perle and Miss Lulu, the muses of La Perle des Dieux.

Sardines are caught between July and August on the coast of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and its surroundings. They are further processed in the Vendée cannery. For more than 130 years, they have been sorted, sliced and canned by hand, one by one, within 48 hours of being caught. This process ensures that they retain their best flavour and nutritional qualities. Completely covered with extra virgin olive oil, they can be preserved for 10 years or more. Like a good wine, sardines age and their taste becomes increasingly delicate.
