Javimar Sardines in EVOO 14/22 Pieces

Javimar Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) are a product of the renowned fishing region of Galicia, in north-west Spain. Nestled in the heart of the Rías Bajas, a coastal area famous for its pristine waters, Javimar selects only the finest Sardina pilchardus for these tins. Each sardine is hand-packed in premium olive oil to preserve its natural flavour and delicate firmness.

Carefully produced using traditional methods refined since 1987, Javimar maintains the true taste of the sea with every tin. The sardines are cleaned, prepared, and packed by hand, ensuring that each piece maintains its shape, texture, and aromatic depth. This artisanal approach, together with the company’s commitment to sustainability, makes Javimar a trusted name in high-quality Spanish preserves.

These sardines are naturally rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to heart and brain health. Combined with nourishing extra virgin olive oil, they represent a wholesome and satisfying choice for anyone who appreciates clean eating and Mediterranean nutrition. No artificial additives are used, allowing the purity of the sea and oil to shine through.

How the Spanish Enjoy Javimar Sardines in EVOO

Sardines are a pantry regular and a cornerstone of traditional tapas culture in many coastal regions. Spaniards often serve them on rustic bread with slices of ripe tomato, or warm them slightly to release their aroma before placing them over roasted peppers. In coastal regions such as Galicia, locals may also mix them with boiled potatoes, parsley, and a hint of smoked paprika, a nod to the flavours of pulpo a la gallega — Galician-style octopus. Whether enjoyed as a simple aperitif or as part of a summer salad, these sardines are valued for their freshness and versatility.

Tapa Serving Suggestion

For a quick Spanish tapa, place a few sardine fillets on grilled bread, top with diced red onion and fresh parsley, then drizzle with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil from the same tin. Serve with chilled Albariño wine for an authentic Galician experience.

Easy Recipe: Mediterranean Sardine Salad
