Small Sardines in Olive Oil

La Brujula’s small sardines in olive oil represent the pinnacle of Spanish conservas craftsmanship. Harvested at their peak between June and October from the cold, plankton-rich waters off Galicia, these delicate sardines are prized for their clean flavor, firm texture, and exceptional freshness. Immediately after catch, they are hand-filleted by skilled local women and carefully arranged in tins before being covered in high-quality olive oil, which enhances their natural sweetness and preserves their silky texture.

Enjoy them straight from the tin with crusty bread, lemon, and flaky salt, or layer them onto salads, toast, or charcuterie boards. Their mild, buttery flavor also makes them ideal for tapas preparations, warm potato dishes, or gently folding into pasta with garlic and herbs. However you serve them, these sardines offer a pure, ocean-forward taste that rivals fresh seafood.

La Brujula—based in Galicia, Spain’s premium tinned-seafood region—is widely regarded as one of the finest producers of conservas in the world. They work only with seafood at its seasonal best and process each catch immediately, preserving unparalleled flavor and aroma. Their meticulous hand-packing tradition ensures every tin meets the highest standards of texture, quality, and presentation. The result is truly best-in-class conservas that highlight the beauty of Spain’s coastal waters.
