About Sardines in olive oil

Sardines in olive oil are sardine fish preserved in olive oil, most often sold canned. Depending on preparation, the fish may be whole or in pieces; the cooked flesh is soft and savoury, while the oil contributes a smooth, distinctly olive-oil character.

They are eaten directly or used as an ingredient, and products differ in fish size, preparation, salt, and oil quantity. The name identifies the packing oil but does not establish a particular sardine species, olive-oil grade, or recipe.
