Not a burning firework, but a warm, rounded heat that accompanies the fish instead of overpowering it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpicy sardines in olive oil\u003c\/strong\u003e are the spirited version of the Portuguese classic: whole sardines, hand-selected, packed in quality olive oil, lightly salted and seasoned with chili, known in Portuguese as Sardinhas em Azeite com Condimentos. Aromatic, firm in texture, and with a heat that only emerges in the finish. The Portuguese have enjoyed it spicy since chili and piri piri arrived via the old sea routes, and this little tin tells exactly that story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpicy, robust, and piquant in the finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst you taste the sardine and the good olive oil, then the chili makes its presence felt – not loudly, but distinctly. A heat that warms rather than burns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flesh remains firm, the skin glistens, and the spice drapes itself like a fine coat over every bite. The better the sardine, the more it carries a little fire – cheap fish disappears under the heat, a good one plays with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce you’ve tasted truly good spicy sardines in olive oil, you’ll hardly want the bland ones from the supermarket again. Here, the fish holds up to the spice without falling apart, all while remaining true to itself. The chili is in the oil, not on the fish, and thus distributes evenly with every bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn toasted bread with tomato\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToasted bread with a slice of tomato is the perfect base – a little feast that's on the table in five minutes. A squeeze of lemon is all you need. Having a stash in the cupboard saves many an evening when you need a meal that is both quick and delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey pair well with robust companions: a handful of pasta with garlic and oil, a plate of rice, a hard-boiled egg, accompanied by a cold beer or a glass of wine. For many, spicy sardines in olive oil are the fastest path to a good meal when hunger is great and time is short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer your spice very mild, opt for the classic \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/porthos-sardinen-in-olivenoel\"\u003esardines in olive oil\u003c\/a\u003e, or if you love a fruity-spicy flavor, try the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/porthos-sardinen-in-scharfer-tomatensauce\"\u003eversion in spicy tomato sauce\u003c\/a\u003e.

Every sardine is hand-selected and layered into the tin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand was named and given its face by a literary hero: Porthos, the strongest and most good-natured of the three musketeers from Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel, just as Dumas describes him. Until the 1950s, the tin only featured the lettering; then the stately musketeer was added. Incidentally, there really was a real-life Porthos: Isaac de Portau, a 17th-century French soldier who served as Dumas' inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo this day, these artistically lithographed tins travel halfway around the world – Porthos has been known in Macau for over 75 years. More than 100 years of craftsmanship are packed into this little spicy tin. You can find the full selection in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/porthos\"\u003ePorthos assortment\u003c\/a\u003e.
