Sardina pilchardus, or the "European pilchard," is a small, oily fish that thrives in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Growing up to 15 - 20 centimeters, it forms large schools near the surface and feeds on plankton and small crustaceans. Highly valued in Portugal, Spain, and France, the fish are sustainably caught using purse seine nets, preserving the seabed and allowing smaller fish to replenish stocks. They are then commonly preserved through canning or smoking.
Berthe, an esteemed canned fish producer, originated in Portugal in 1853. They select the best fish from the Matosinhos fish market, thoroughly process them, and promptly can them through Ramirez & Ca. (Filhos) SA, one of the world's oldest canneries dating back to 1906. Tailored for the French market, Berthe's tins feature French labeling with an iconic girl on the front, symbolizing Lyonnaise literature. Today, Berthe is part of the Ramirez portfolio.
Sardine aficionados are well acquainted with these renowned Berthe sardines, cherished for their plumpness and lusciousness in every tin. Their firm texture and abundant infusion of premium olive oil ensure a consistently delightful flavor journey. Here are a few ways to eat to enjoy this popular Mediterranean delicacy:
