What Are Sardines?
The sardine — sometimes also referred to as the pilchard or herring fish — is a type of small, oily fish that belongs to the Clupeid family. This fish can be found in many different regions, including the Pacific and Mediterranean, and typically feed on plankton.
Sardines as food are tasty and bursting with important nutrients, making them a worthy addition to any diet. Not only are they rich in omega-3 fatty acids, but they’re also loaded with protein and essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and selenium. Plus, they’ve been associated with a number of health benefits, ranging from better bone health to increased weight loss and beyond.
Although these delicious fish can be purchased fresh, they are most often consumed canned for a convenient and power-packed meal or snack. They also have a distinct signature flavor that works well in many different dishes and recipes, such as salads and pastas.

Production Process
1. PHASE ONE OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
Sardine is delivered to our factory either directly from the fishing vessel or from reefer ships delivering from fishing companies. The majority of the sardine delivered is frozen. So we need to defrost the raw materials.
2. PHASE TWO OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
First we clean the whole pieces and slices and remove the skin, bones, fins, and any remaining entrails or dark meat. The fillets are then cut for subsequent packaging.
Packaging, adding liquid to cover them, and closing the containers
Once parts have been cleaned, they are then manually packaged, the sauces are prepared and the liquids to cover them are added: oil, brine, or sauce.
3. PHASE THREE OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
Sterilization and final cooling of the containers. The temperatures and sterilization times are standardized by the company and vary depending on the sizes, products, and packing liquids that are to be sterilized. They are rapidly cooled via overpressure to avoid any deformations in the containers.
