A rare and highly sought-after product: Sardine roe is one of Portugal's most refined delicacies. It can be enjoyed plain on a good slice of toast or incorporated into dishes with a drizzle of olive oil."

Once quite common, sardine roe, also known as "Portuguese caviar," has become a very rare and highly sought-after product. Sardine roe is only produced during the months of November, December, and sometimes January.

The manufacturing process requires intensive and meticulous labor. Only canneries that still work in an artisanal way, like La Gondola, are able to produce it.

What I like

  • Obviously, the taste of this sardine roe that I adore, simply placed on a soft-boiled egg.
  • The rarity of this roe linked to the fishing period which only lasts 3 months and the skilled labor they require.
