I really love these sardines. Large and tender, but not mushy, in decent quality oil.

I'd say they are probably the most nutritious also and sardines are one of the most nutritious foods available.

Tinned Fish, Your Way.
Ways to Shop BELA
Family- & Veteran-Owned From Day One.
By 1997, America's sardine canneries were nearly gone. Our founder, Joshua, and his mom, Florence, went to Portugal and found a family-run cannery in Olhão that still packed every tin by hand. They built BELA around it. Nearly 30 years later, the family still runs it.
The Oil is Half the Story.
Olive oil shouldn’t be an afterthought. Ours comes from a fifth-generation family farm in Trás-os-Montes, Portugal, where olives are hand-harvested in late November and pressed. The oil then rests for four months before it reaches a tin.
