Information from the producer:
TRATA sardines are carefully selected from fresh catch. They are meticulously cleaned, quality assured and canned. They are steamed lightly with spicy red peppers, so as to stay tender and capture the spicy aromas, while retaining their nutrients. As a final touch, we add the finest vegetable oil offering a unique and spicy taste experience.
For sardines TRATA we only use the species Sardina Pilchardus, which is the only species that is characterized as “sardine” and not as “sardine-type” .Sardines are fished in the waters of Northern Aegean. The unique conditions and the biodiversity present in their natural habitat and their diet are the reasons behind their superior quality, light, tender and flavorful flesh without scales.
