Sardines in Azores Butter, José Gourmet, Portugal
A luscious, sea-meets-land experience, José Gourmet’s sardines in Azores butter are a savory revelation. These plump Atlantic sardines are gently cooked and bathed in rich, golden butter sourced from the Azores—Portugal’s lush volcanic archipelago known for its high-quality dairy. The result is a tin that feels both indulgent and grounded, marrying the umami of the sea with the creamy sweetness of pastured butter.
The sardines are wild-caught and hand-packed, as is tradition with José Gourmet, a producer known for its vibrant illustrated labels and commitment to high-quality ingredients and small-scale sourcing. The butter adds depth and a subtle grassy note that softens the intensity of the fish while still letting the ocean speak.
TASTING:
Silky, savory, oceanic, with a long buttery finish
SERVING SUGGESTION:
Best enjoyed warmed ever-so-slightly and served on warm baguette with cracked pepper and sea salt, or mashed into a potato purée for an elevated take on brandade.
PAIRING:
Dry sparkling wine, crisp Portuguese white like Arinto, or an off-dry cider
INGREDIENTS:
Sardines, Azores butter, salt
MADE IN: Portugal
CAUGHT IN: Atlantic Ocean, near the Portuguese coast
