Boldly seasoned, but not overwhelming – the green tin for those who like it spicy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSardines in spicy oil\u003c\/strong\u003e are the fiery Portuguese variety: whole, hand-selected sardines, packed in sunflower oil and seasoned with piri piri, and lightly salted. Aromatic, spicy, and firm in texture. Piri Piri, the small, hot chili pepper, once arrived in Portugal via sea routes from Africa – and now sits right in the middle of this tin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpicy, bold, and fiery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seasoned oil provides a clear, warm heat that comes from the piri piri and plays around the fish. Not a mild oil-packed fish, but one with temperament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sardine remains firm, and the oil becomes a little spicier with every day in the pantry. The longer the tin rests, the deeper the heat penetrates the fish, making the sardines in spicy oil even more well-rounded over time. The tin itself is striking: dressed in green, it stands out among its siblings, signaling from the outside that something fiery awaits within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose who love heat know: piri piri doesn’t burn dully, but vividly, with a fruity undertone. This is exactly the kind of heat Porthos packs into this green tin, without letting the fish get lost beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpicy on bread or in pasta\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s quickest on crusty bread, served with the spicy oil drizzled right on top. For something more substantial, toss them over hot spaghetti with garlic – a spicy pasta dish in ten minutes. A few drops of lemon on top, and the heat gets a fresh lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith rice, white beans, or a fried egg, this heat is on the table in no time. It pairs well with bold accompaniments and a cold beer.

Its roots date back to 1912.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brand is named after the musketeer Porthos from Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel, the strongest of the three friends, as Dumas intended. Until the 1950s, only the lettering appeared on the tin; then the dapper musketeer was added, and he has been the face of the brand ever since. It is a nice coincidence that the strongest of the three friends adorns the spiciest sardine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiri piri is a great match for Porthos: a chili that traveled halfway around the world with Portuguese seafarers, just as the artistically lithographed tins do to this day.
