2021 Vintage Sardines

A vintage series

With this series, we wish to honor the historical expertise of the cannery and the creative work of contemporary artists from our region. The vintage series guarantees top-quality sardines that improve with age.

A seasonal catch

Our sardines, Sardina pilchardus, are caught during the peak season, from May to October. During this time of year, the sardines are at their fleshiest, making them the most tender and flavorful. The sardines come from the ports of Lorient, Concarneau, Douarnenez, and Saint-Guénolé in Brittany, and occasionally from St Gilles Croix de Vie in the Vendée.

Traditional production in our Penmarc’h workshop

The sardines are processed fresh, headed, and gutted by hand. They are fried in oil. It is this traditional preparation method that gives them the confit flavor that sardine enthusiasts particularly appreciate, and which allows them to mature better in their tin. Jean-François Furic’s father and grandfather already worked this way. The frying oil is changed regularly, more frequently than the Label Rouge standard requires.

Packed by hand

Before canning, we trim the tail and the collar. Canning is done by hand in our cannery and is called “en bleu.” The backs are visible when the tin is opened, unlike “white” preserves where the bellies are visible.
We place 4 to 6 sardines in each tin.

LA COMPAGNIE BRETONNE Jean-François Furic Cannery

Values and Commitment

For the Jean-François Furic cannery, canning fish and seafood is a craft in its own right, requiring technical expertise and great discipline, but above all, a deep knowledge of fish and a sincere passion for the trade.

La Compagnie Bretonne is the result of nearly a century of experience in working with fish, as well as a desire to keep this profession alive and evolving at the forefront of Brittany.
It is these values and a constant commitment to quality that have driven the Furic family for 4 generations to offer you products that respect both the flavors of traditional recipes and innovative preparations.

ETHICS: A CORE VALUE OF THE COMPANY

Ethics is a core value of the company.

3 fundamental, inseparable, and complementary pillars illustrate this approach: respect, sharing, and balance.
– Respect & consultation with our fishing partners, our suppliers, and our retailers by building balanced commercial relationships.
– Respect & consultation with internal teams and balanced relationships and decisions.
– Transparency, listening, and sharing with our consumers

The commitments of La Compagnie Bretonne

La Compagnie Bretonne aims to be a benchmark in the premium canned fish market, both in terms of quality promises and innovation. La Compagnie Bretonne also strives for sustainable growth by choosing quality over quantity. We apply this choice daily, both in the selection of our fish stocks and key ingredients such as olive oil, and in the relationships we build with our fishing partners and all our suppliers. We also apply the same selectivity to our sales network, favoring independent retailers committed to offering quality products with a wealth of expertise and a certain ethics. We want to share our expertise, our history, and our knowledge with everyone and are always transparent about our approach.

Due to the limited supply, which depends on seasonal fishing and our quality requirements, La Compagnie Bretonne strives to establish commercial relationships with a number of retailers that align with its own supply capabilities, for the benefit of both the retailers involved and the consumers.
Because of the quality and authenticity of its products, La Compagnie Bretonne attaches particular importance to the environment in which its products are marketed. Retailers are therefore requested to pay special attention to their points of sale and the presentation of their products, so as not to damage their image and to respect the efforts of La Compagnie Bretonne for their development and promotion.
La Compagnie Bretonne provides retailers with indicative prices for the sale of products based on their positioning and quality.

Sardineshop.be is therefore particularly honored to have the privilege of selling these fantastic sardines.
