Ortiz Sardines in Olive Oil

Ortiz Sardines in Olive Oil are made from small wild sardines caught off the northern coast of Spain, then carefully cleaned, lightly cooked, and hand-packed in olive oil to preserve their texture and natural flavour. This reflects traditional Cantabrian conservera methods that focus on freshness, seasonality, and minimal processing. Unlike many sardine producers, Ortiz never freezes their sardines. They are typically used in tapas, salads, and toast, or added to pasta and rice dishes for a rich, savoury seafood flavour. The olive oil can also be used as part of dressings or drizzled over finished dishes for added depth.
