Wild-caught in the waters of Spain, Italy, and Croatia and hand-packed in Galicia in northern Spain, Matiz sardines are considered one of the finest sardines available in the world. Prized for their plump, tender texture and rich flavor, they are hand-packed fresh from the ocean in sunflower oil and a touch of lemon.

Spain has a rich culinary history that is largely centered around seafood. This seems only natural given that the country is surrounded on three sides by water. While fishing and trapping seafood is an age-old tradition, processing and preserving the catch can be dated back to the time of the Romans when facilities were built for drying and salting the fish.

Although our producers at Connorsa have experienced a significant amount of growth since the company was founded in 1985 they continue to pride themselves on utilizing traditional methods, while fusing them with modern day technology in order to provide quality products.
