Sardine Gift Set with three varieties from Portugal
The Sardine Gift Set by A Banca da Sardinha combines three cans in one box: pure in olive oil, refined with lemon, and spicy with mixed pickles. Not a randomly assembled assortment, but a little journey through the breadth of the Lisbon-based brand.
The Sardine Gift Set from A Banca da Sardinha brings together three characterful cans and is perfect for gifting someone the Portuguese sardine culture in a box. Included are the classic sardines in olive oil, the sardines with lemon in olive oil, and the spicy oil sardines with mixed pickles, with a total content of 360 g and a drained weight of 255 g.
Pure, fruity, spicy – three characters
Each can in the set shows a different side of the same sardine: the classic version remains true to itself, the lemon version adds freshness, and the mixed-pickles can provides spice and bite. Pure, fruity, spicy – three performances of the same sardine, none of which overshadows the others.
The three cans go well together on a shared platter because none overpowers the other; rather, each gets its own moment. Taste them one after the other, with a little white bread in between, so that each variety can reveal itself individually before the next can is opened.
If you like, you can simply give the set as it is – anyone who finds a favorite variety after tasting will also find them individually in our shop, such as the sardines in olive oil or the sardines with lemon in olive oil.
Three cans, one origin
All three varieties in the set undergo the same production process: the sardines are caught off the Portuguese coast, pre-cooked using the traditional pré-cozido method, and only then filled into the can with olive oil and the respective ingredients. Down-to-earth, careful, artisanal – that is the best way to describe this production, even though the final result comes in a pop-art colorful can and has a modern feel.
They are caught using purse seine fishing, certified according to the MSC standard. Three cans, then, but only one origin and one craft behind them.
Regarding food safety, Mediterran Food & Beverage also relies on clear, documented standards so that each of the three cans tastes reliably as you expect it to, whether you open it today or in a year's time.
From an assortment full of recipes
Behind A Banca da Sardinha is the Lisbon company Mediterran Food & Beverage, which has managed the brand since 2007 and expanded its range to include many recipes – three carefully selected ones are in this set.
It is precisely this mix of pop-art design on the outside and serious craftsmanship on the inside that has brought the brand beyond Portugal to England, the USA, and to us in Germany. A set like this shows in one box what others would only discover over several cans.
Those who want to delve even deeper will find our entire A Banca da Sardinha range as well as other sardines from Portugal from other manufacturers. A small gift with a wide range of flavors – and a good conversation starter when giving it away.
