A lustrous mouthwatering match. Sturdy sardines swim in a mildly sweet, juicy sauce. Firm, zestful, meaty—a dynamic duo of sleek fish and tantalizing tomato.

Imagine a terrace overlooking the sea, a glass of something cool, verdant landscape, and a plate of summer flavors…sardines in tomato sauce (sop it all up!) are Mediterranean paradise.

A classic for any occasion, our conserva is resplendently robust in taste and feels romantically old-fashioned—like a dapper top hat.

This silvery swimmer is packed full of calcium and vitamins D and B12. Talk about beneficial for your bones and your belly.

A certain sardine wanted to transform itself into a tomato. The transformation was done, however it lost its entire aroma and did not find its red and plain appearance to be very charming. So it decided to go back to its original form and invited the tomato over to converse: conversation about conservation.
