La Curiosa - Sardines in Lemon-Infused Olive Oil

Bring a breath of fresh air and elegance to your aperitifs with olive oil and lemon sardines from the Spanish house La Curiosa. Renowned for modernizing the world of luxury preserves, the brand offers a luminous, lively and perfectly balanced recipe here.

Captured exclusively in a sustainable manner in the heart of the summer season (when the fish is at its culinary peak), these fresh, prime sardines are cleaned and prepared by hand, one by one, with goldsmith-like care. They are then delicately grilled, then preserved with superior quality olive oil and real pieces of selected lemon. The citrus naturally infuses into the oil, releasing tangy and fruity notes that enhance the fish's iodine flavor without ever altering it.

• Simply enjoy: Serve at room temperature, directly from the can, on a slice of lightly toasted country bread.
• Freshness: Ideal for enhancing a black rice salad, an heirloom tomato tartare, or a fresh pasta salad with herbs.
• Food and wine pairing: A masterful pairing with a dry white wine, or a brut Champagne to enhance the lemon notes.

• Food and wine pairing: (Galicia & Portugal): An Albariño (from Rías Baixas) or a Portuguese Alvarinho. These wines, born facing the ocean, share a saline minerality and a biting acidity with notes of white grapefruit. They instantly enhance the iodized side of the sardine and the liveliness of the lemon, or a Chablis (Burgundy) or a Muscadet. Their straightforward, taut, and crystalline profile acts as a true "scalpel" to balance the noble fat of the covering olive oil.
