The organic sardines in olive oil from Pan do Mar reflect a commitment to sustainable fishing. Sourced from the Northwest coast of the Iberian Peninsula and the Bay of Biscay, these sardines are obtained using traditional techniques that avoid the use of trawling nets, ensuring the protection of non-commercial species and sizes. With a size of 14-15 cm, individuals are selected that have already completed their reproductive cycle, ensuring the sustainability of sardine populations for future generations. Each sardine is hand-cleaned and packed in extra virgin olive oil, sourced from certified organic farming in Spain. This practice not only guarantees a high-quality product but also contributes to a lower environmental impact by reducing energy and CO2 consumption through local transportation. Production is carried out under strict European Union regulations, ensuring the maintenance of the species’ natural stocks. Furthermore, the ingredients used are certified by the organic production control authority, ensuring authenticity and quality.
