Vilgain Sardines in organic extra virgin olive oil
Vilgain HGT sardines are among the best the sea has to offer. In addition to a distinctive taste with a subtle sweetness, they will delight you with an arsenal of nutrients essential for a good life, especially protein and omega 3 fatty acids.
First‑class workmanship and premium quality
Fishing takes place in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean near the coasts of Spain and the UK.
After harvesting, the largest pieces go to a family‑run business in the province of La Rioja, south of Bilbao, Spain. Here the sardines are processed using traditional artisanal techniques and placed in a handy jar already cooked, without head, tail or guts. After the sardines are sliced, only high‑quality Spanish organic olive oil is added to fine‑tune the flavour profile and the extra nutritious, top‑tasting sardines are ready.
A fish rich in nutrients
Sardines are a source of unsaturated fatty acids and, despite their small size, contain up to 0,4 g of EPA and DHA - omega‑3 fatty acids that contribute to normal heart function - per 100 g of solids. They are also an excellent source of protein and essential amino acids, especially lysine, leucine, glutamic acid and others [1].
Sardines also contain minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron [2].
Vilgain HGT sardines contain larger, juicier, and tastier pieces than regular sardines in a can from the store and taste great in salads and sardine sandwiches. If we can advise you, though, don't heat them anymore, or the olive oil will lose all its benefits.
