Nuri - Spicy Sardines in Tomato Sauce
$11.99
Join the circle of exceptional canned food enthusiasts with the Spiced Sardines in Tomato Sauce from the Portuguese company Nuri. Since 1920, the Pinhais cannery has maintained a 100% traditional manufacturing process in Matosinhos. Each sardine (Sardina pilchardus) is selected fresh from the fish market, hand-trimmed, then steamed before being canned.
The magic happens thanks to the combination of a rich and creamy tomato sauce, high-quality olive oil, and a rigorous selection of fresh herbs. The careful addition of a piri-piri pepper brings a subtle warmth that awakens the taste buds without ever masking the delicacy of the fish. A perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and spiciness.

- Wine pairing: A southern red wine, sun-drenched but fluid, such as a Côtes-du-Rhône, a Chianti (Italy) or a red from the Douro (Portugal). Their notes of ripe red fruits harmonize with the tomato coulis.
- White wine: An aromatic but dry white wine such as a dry Alsace Riesling or a Rueda Verdejo (Spain). The fruity side tames the heat of the piri-piri pepper without being overwhelmed.
