French Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Fish-Shaped Gift Tin

Tender little French sardines in a cute little fish-shaped tin is exactly what you needed to complete a gourmet gift set for the chef or foodie in your life! This oversized tin actually holds two of Les Mouettes D’Arvor’s 4 oz. signature tins of sardines in extra virgin olive oil, so it’s almost like two gifts in one. Perfect to add to a French gift basket or two take on a picnic by the sea!

For 40 years Les Mouettes d'Arvor ("the seagulls of Arvor”) has sourced their sardines from 9 boatmen in Concarneau, one of the France’s largest fishing ports. The sardines are only fished when in season during the spring. They’re carefully hand selected – they must not be too thin or too large – then submerged in an ice bath, which allows the sardines’ flesh to firm up and the fish to be peeled. Then, painstakingly by hand, each sardine is deboned, dried, and packed in fine extra virgin olive oil. The artisan process is meticulous and guarantees the quality of the sardines.

These are perfect for appetizers, that extra flavor on pasta or salad, or just serve them on top of a slice of toasted bread with some fresh herbs for instant crostini. Toss them with some linguine with a twist of lemon for a flavorful dinner, or on top of a fresh salad with cherry tomatoes and basil for a quick and healthy lunch. Endless possibilities with a healthy, delicious ingredient.
