Follow up to my previous post.
These sardines were absolutely perfect. The size of the fish are excellent, goldilocks.
Incredibly soft but surprisingly firm, yet with some fat. Fully intact skin with roughly chopped tails. Can't say I've ever had a sardine like these. Pleasantly fishy. The oil it's Incredibly fruity ? Nearly sweet after the time spent with the fish. The oil is actually much improved in comparison to younger tins.
Bones were completely undetectable.
Served with crackers but ate non of them with the fish as planned. Only used as a medium too eat the oil haha. The sardines tasted too good on their own, I didn't want anything interfering.
Unfortunately, the only can I had. Don't think I'll able to find more but I'm thankful to have ate the one.

Well I know what I’m eating during the apocalypse.
Both the 2017 and 2018 Ferrigno Les Belles de Marseille vintage sardines are pretty widely available and relatively affordable. Rainbow Tomatoes has them for $7 each, I believe. I’m betting you might enjoy those based on my experience with the vintage Connétable cans.
I’m very curious if aging actually has any noticeable effect. Wouldn’t surprise me, just not sure exactly what would change.
Looks delicious 😋
I love this brand … I just ate their sardine au piment d’espelette 🤤🤤 crazy good
Genuinely curious, what’s the actual difference between vintage and expired? Because I have a few “vintage” KOs I’ve been on the fence about.
Are these treated somehow to make them “age” rather than degrade/expire? I always imagined they’d eventually turn to mush at some point
