The great vintage of sardines

Have you ever tasted our tasty sardines de garde? While all belle-iloise sardines are vintage, only a few come from our special reserve, known as "de garde"!

Kept in reserve at the Conserverie for a minimum of 2 years to allow time to do its work, like a great vintage wine, they are produced in special series and limited quantities, but not every year! Identified as soon as they return from fishing for their exceptional quality, sardines that are suitable for "guarding" are very rare... That's why we only make them on a one-off basis, depending on the fish we receive.

Finished with a specially selected fruity extra virgin olive oil to preserve them to perfection and enhance their flavour, our long-keeping sardines are destined to delight the most discerning connoisseurs! Extra-melting, they stand out for their fine flavour, combining iodine and fruit flavours for an unequalled pleasure for the senses...

Available in 2 recipes: the Saint-Georges version or the Lemon Olive Oil version with slices of fresh lemon, our sardines stand on their own and can be enjoyed on their own, perhaps with a piece of bread and a touch of salted butter... A taste experience to share!
