Vintage 2022 Sardines

A vintage series

With this series, we aim to honor the historical know-how 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 tenderest and most 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 workshop in Penmarc’h

The sardines are processed fresh, headed and gutted by hand with a knife. They are fried in oil. It is this traditional preparation that gives them the confit flavor that sardine enthusiasts particularly appreciate, and which allows them to mature better in the 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. The canning is done by hand in our cannery and is known as “en bleu.” The backs are visible when the tin is opened, unlike “white” canning 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 genuine passion for the trade.

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

ETHICS: A CORE VALUE OF THE COMPANY

Ethics is a core value of the company.

Three fundamental, inseparable, and complementary pillars illustrate this approach: respect, sharing, and balance.
– Respect & consultation with our fishing partners, suppliers, and 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 fine canned fish market, both in terms of quality promises and innovation. La Compagnie Bretonne also strives for sustainable growth by prioritizing 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, history, and 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, benefiting both the retailers involved and 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 in their development and promotion.

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