This Portuguese delicacy features sardines caught off the Algarve coast and carefully cold-smoked before being packed in a rich, spicy tomato sauce. Papa Anzóis maintains true artisanal quality as mainland Portugal's only certified "by hand" cannery, with each tin prepared using traditional methods and packed in high-quality local virgin olive oil.

These smoked sardines represent the perfect balance of craft and flavour, a testament to small-batch production where attention to detail creates something truly exceptional. The limited production runs ensure each tin maintains the highest standards from sea to plate.

Papa Anzóis sardines are for those who appreciate authentic seafood traditions and bold, honest flavours that tell the storey of Portugal's rich maritime heritage, whether enjoyed straight from the tin or incorporated into your favourite recipe.

Why It Stands Out

  • Certified Hand-Canned: The only mainland Portuguese cannery with this distinction.
  • Cold-Smoked Technique: Lightly develops flavour while preserving delicate texture.
  • Local Virgin Olive Oil: Adds richness and authentic Portuguese character.
  • Small-Batch Production: Ensuring exceptional quality control.
  • Spicy Tomato Sauce: Creates perfect balance with the smoky sardines.

Tasting Notes

Expect a harmonious blend of delicate smokiness, fresh sardine flavour, and warming spice from the tomato sauce, all enriched by the smooth quality of local olive oil, a complex yet balanced taste of Southern Portugal's finest seafood tradition.

About The Producer

The name Papa Anzóis, meaning "the rock that eats fish hooks", refers to a notorious fishing spot off the Algarve coast, reflecting the brand's authentic connection to Portuguese fishing heritage. Owners Manuel Mendes and Vincent Jonckheere maintain traditional canning methods through their small team, prioritising quality and craftsmanship over mass production.
