Description
Small Atlantic mackerel preserved in extra virgin olive oil. This 90g tin offers a tender, mild profile produced through traditional Portuguese methods.
Craft & Origin
Jose Gourmet sources small mackerel off the coast of Portugal, selecting younger fish for delicate structure and clean flavor. The fish are pre-cooked before being packed with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. This process softens the bone structure while allowing the oil to coat the fish. The recipe earned a British Great Taste award for technical execution and ingredient purity.
Flavor & Texture
Mild salinity and olive oil character. Tender, meaty texture.
How to Use
Serve on toasted ciabatta with sliced tomato or toss with black-eyed pea salad.
