Nuri - Spicy Sardines in Olive Oil
$11.99
Join the club of exceptional canned food enthusiasts with the most famous recipe from the Portuguese house Nuri: spicy sardines in olive oil. Produced in limited edition in Matosinhos since 1920, these fresh sardines (Sardina pilchardus) are bought at auction, manually prepared, then steamed using an unchanged traditional method.
The secret of their success lies in a masterful aromatic balance. The sardines are bathed in superior quality olive oil, subtly enhanced with a whole fresh piri-piri pepper, black pepper, cloves, bay leaf, carrot, and cucumber. A unique recipe that offers a gentle and progressive warmth, without ever masking the fish's briny taste.
________________________________________________________________
- Gourmet Aperitif: Ideal for a Petisco (Portuguese tapas), accompanied by black olives and a glass of chilled Vinho Verde.
- In the Kitchen: Crumbled into a warm potato salad or to enhance a dish of fresh pasta with garlic.

- Food and Wine Pairing : A Portuguese white Wine. Its lively freshness, citrus notes and a hint of natural salinity perfectly match the spiciness, or a dry Alsace Riesling or a Rueda Verdejo (Spain), whose straightforward aromatic structure tames the heat of the pepper without being overpowered.
- With a light red wine: A fluid red, served slightly chilled, such as a Beaujolais, to emphasize the red fruit without aggressive tannins.
