Vilgain Sardines HGT are among the best the sea has to offer. In addition to their distinctive flavor with a gentle sweetness, you'll also appreciate their arsenal of nutrients essential for a quality life, especially protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
Fishing takes place in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, or the northeastern Pacific Ocean.
After the catch, the largest pieces are sent to a family business in the province of La Rioja, south of Bilbao, Spain. Here, the sardines are processed using traditional artisanal techniques and placed into a practical glass jar already cooked, without head, tail, or innards. After portioning, only high-quality Spanish ORGANIC olive oil is added, which perfects the flavor profile, resulting in extra nutritious sardines with top taste.
Sardines are a source of omega-3 fatty acids. In 100 g of solid content, they contain 0,4 g of EPA and DHA—omega-3 fatty acids that contribute to normal heart function*. They are also an excellent source of protein and essential amino acids, especially lysine, leucine, glutamic acid, and others [1].
Sardines also contain minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron [2].
Vilgain Sardines HGT contain larger, juicier, and tastier pieces than regular canned sardines from the store and are delicious in salads or sardine sandwiches. However, if we may advise, do not reheat them, as the olive oil will lose all its benefits.
*A beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.
