A punchy pantry staple from one of the oldest and most beloved conserva houses in Spain. Espinaler’s baby sardines are tender, tiny, and packed in a signature spicy sauce that’s as nostalgic as it is craveable. This is from their Classic Line—a nod to decades of family tradition and Catalan bar culture.
Origin: Spain
Fish Variety: Baby sardines (sardinillas)
Ingredients: Baby sardines, olive oil, chili, vinegar, salt, spices
Tasting Notes:
Silky texture with just the right heat. The sardines are small, delicate, and perfectly balanced by a tangy, paprika-laced sauce that brings warmth without overpowering the fish.
Serving Suggestions:
Perfect straight from the tin with potato chips and a cold lager. Try them over toast with aioli, on a buttered baguette with pickled shallots, or chopped into a pasta with lemon and herbs for an instant weeknight dinner.
Can it be heated?
Yes—gently. Warm the tin in hot water for 5–10 minutes, or heat slowly in a pan. Avoid boiling or high heat to preserve texture.
About the Producer:
Espinaler has been perfecting conservas since 1896, first as a seaside bar near Barcelona and later as one of Spain’s premier tinned seafood brands. Known for their famous Espinaler Sauce and dedication to quality, this family-run company continues to uphold century-old traditions with every tin.
