Sardines Label Rouge huile d'olive

Sardines Label Rouge huile d'olive is the kind of tin people choose when they want sardines with a named quality mark and olive oil rather than a bare, no-frills pack. By our assessment, the quality label points to a more selected product, and olive oil usually gives a rounder, fuller mouthfeel than cheaper packing oils. The downside is simple enough: sardines in olive oil can feel richer and more assertive, so they are not the lightest option on the shelf. In practice they are still sardines, with bones, skin, and a strong fish taste that comes through as soon as the tin is opened. Against ordinary sardines in sunflower oil, this sits a little higher in the category and asks for more from the palate. Sardines Label Rouge huile d'olive is for people who like sardines and want them with a bit more polish.
