Matiz Sardines Variety Pack, Wild Caught Spanish Waters | 10 Tins | In Olive Oil, Sweet Piquillo Pepper, Spicy Piri Piri Pepper and Lemon Essence

Always high quality, tasty, healthy, convenient foods. So easy to have a quick meal. I put them on fresh kale and spinach, dump them into a hot bowl of soup (very filling), on thin rice cakes or seaweed Gimme wafers. I tend to put them on foil and briefly heat in the oven (personal preference). Like most European foods, they are so much cleaner and tastier than U.S. produced foods - NO Chemicals. What a difference no chemicals in food make!! Excellent source of calcium, protein and iron!

As anyone thinking about Matiz sardines probably already knows, not all sardines are created equal. Most American "grocery store" sardines are fairly bland. I believe that is intentional to make them more palatable to taste-shy Americans. Matiz sardines taste like sardines! Each variety is different, not just in spicing but also in terms of the specific sub-type of sardine. They range from 3 big sardines per can to a dozen tiny ones. All with skin on for flavor. I have to admit, I had never tried sardines with lemon, but decided to give this assortment a try. Pleasant surprise! I love the lemon sardines for tossing onto pasta. Before the pandemic, we used to go to a few different Asian markets in town that stock a good assortment of sardines. One even has a whole aisle of sardines they way many groceries have an aisle of breakfast cereals. With the pandemic, however, we keep shopping to a minimum. Luckily, these Matiz sardines are wonderful and we can get the delivered straight to our door! (This is our second purchase of the same Matiz assortment.) Even once this pandemic is over (or at least subdued), I think we'll continue buying these Matiz sardines.

All flavors were good, wife still prefers making her own usingTabasco

So good! Even if you aren’t a sardine person the quality of these sardines is wonderful!

Love that they are wild caught and still have the bones in which are soft and edible and pack a huge calcium wallop! The variety pack is wonderful, each kind is unique and lovely. I went back to the pictures on Amazon for food-pairing like they would in Spain for tapas. And we buy these over and over again the quality is extraordinarily consistent. Thank you!
