The Portuguese from Manná prepare these pickled sardines following the same manual method used almost 70 years ago. The sardines are prepared and canned by hand and no preservatives or coloring are added, ensuring the quality of the product from start to finish.
The pickling adds a unique dimension to this preserve, combining the acidity of vinegar with the unmatched flavor of sardines, tomato, and onion. The result is a dish with a balanced flavor profile and a smooth texture, where the ingredients are infused with the flavors of the marinade. Pickling, used since ancient times, not only extends the shelf life of food, but also provides a distinctive and delicious culinary experience.
Sardines are a natural source of protein and contain omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. They also have vitamins A, B, and D, making them a very complete and essential food in our diet.
