Small Sardines in Brava Sauce, ABC+ by Jose Gourmet, Portugal

They say “Brava,” we shout “Bravo!” Red pepper, chili, and garlic envelop these distinguished sardines in a sweet, spicy, and creamy harmony that’s sure to leave you wanting more.

No fish is more Portuguese than the mighty sardine. It occupies a place of honor as the most appreciated and consumed fish in the country. ABC+ strives to contribute to the internationalization of this important tradition.The Brava sauce has a bright orange, creamy shine that invites you to dive in head first. Just a touch spicy, but with perfect balance - we can’t help but soak up every last drop with whatever source of carbs we have around.

SERVING: With spicy pickles on a charcuterie board, soaking through a hearty loaf of bread, creating a sauce and protein in your next decadent rice dish
MADE IN: Portugal

Innovative, experimental, and extremely small scale, ABC+ is breathing new life into the world of conservas. As tinned fish gain popularity, giant companies are eager to consolidate, push production, and limit creativity in the name of scalability. Adriano is doing the exact opposite. ABC+ builds on tradition by developing new and elevated recipes preserved in a distinctive round can and expressing worldly sauces spanning the entire globe - think Bravas from Spain, Moqueca from Brazil, Aglio e Olio from Italy, Curry from Southeast Asian cuisines, and the list goes on - paired only with the highest quality seafood coming from the Port of Matosinhos only a few blocks from the cannery.
