USISA – Sardines “Sardinillas” in Olive Oil 80gr.

Description

The artisanal production of canned fish, specifically “Sardinillas de la costa en aceite de oliva” (small sardines from the coast in olive oil), is a carefully controlled process that ensures the quality, flavor, and freshness of the final product. Below is a description of the production process in a factory that manages the entire production process, the components of canned sardines, and their benefits.

Preparation process:

There are a number of essential steps in the preparation process for our ‘Coastal Sardines in Olive Oil’. First, the raw material (always fresh) arrives at the facilities, straight from the port.

After reception, the head is removed, the fish is gutted, and it has its fin cut off. All parts are cleaned by our team by hand in a brine bath and packed according to size. This is followed by turning and cooking of the fish pieces in the steam cooking tunnel.

One of the key steps to achieving our unique flavour is the addition of the finest Andalusian olive oils. After, the tins are hermetically sealed and sterilised in autoclaves to obtain a completely sterile product.

The tins are then washed and dried before proceeding with their packaging and boxing. The process concludes with storage of the product for subsequent shipment.
