Small "do Xeito" sardines in La Brujula No. 127 smoked olive oil. 130 g

Authentic Galician “do Xeito” sardines

La Brújula “do Xeito” sardines are an iconic specialty of the Galician coast. They come from the Ría de Arousa, an area renowned for the exceptional quality of its seafood.

Traditional artisanal fishing

The sardines are caught using the traditional “do Xeito” method, a small-scale fishing practice that respects marine resources.

Summer fishing at the perfect time

They are caught during the months of July and August, when they are at their fattest and most flavorful. Fishing at dawn also makes their preparation easier.

Meticulous artisanal preparation

After being caught, the sardines are steamed to preserve their texture and natural flavor.

A rigorous selection

The sardines are then sorted by size, with a preference for smaller ones, which are particularly prized for their delicacy.

Cleaned and prepared by hand

Each sardine is carefully cleaned individually and then prepared using traditional Galician methods.

Refined smoked olive oil

The sardines are canned by hand and then covered with a smoked olive oil that adds delicate and elegant notes.

A melt-in-your-mouth texture and a smoky, ocean-fresh flavor

Steam cooking combined with the smoked oil results in a tender texture and a subtly smoky, ocean-fresh flavor.

An ideal size for tapas

The can contains about 12 to 16 small sardines, perfect for tapas, appetizers, and gourmet tastings.

Serving suggestions

Enjoy on toasted bread, with tomatoes, or in refined Mediterranean tapas.
