Word has it that the best sardines come from neighbouring waters. From the Atlantic and Mediterranean, we get fresh sardines with a silver shine. Add quality olive oil to wine and dine! Olive oil has always been one of the desired partners in Portuguese cuisine, and only excellent ingredients can aspire to have memorable encounters with such a refined olive oil.
The sardines swam along the Atlantic coast, up and down, laughing and stretching, shaking and bending! That’s why our coast is as curvy as we know it!

Blend 8 sandwich bread slices together with 75g grated ementhal cheese and 35g of butter, 1 soup spoon of chopped parsley and 1 espresso spoon of freshly chopped thyme.

Before it freezes, remove and cut small rectangular shapes big enough to cover the sardines from 4 tins. Add 250g of confit tomato and place all into a pyrex, and into the oven at 150% for 20’. Top everything with 1 espresso spoon of icing sugar, salt, 2 chopped garlic cloves and a thread of olive oil.
