Did you know? — Fun facts about Sardines
- A fish as ancient as the Mediterranean — Sardines take their name from Sardinia, where they were already abundant in ancient times. But along the Sicilian coastline, sardine fishing has always been a collective ritual, a moment of community life that has shaped the culture, cuisine and identity of entire generations of fishermen.
- The superfood you didn't know you had — Rich in Omega-3, vitamin D, calcium and quality protein, sardines have been the fuel of Mediterranean coastal populations for centuries. A fish modest in price, extraordinarily rich in nutrients.
- The "cucina povera" that conquered the world — Pasta with sardines is one of the oldest and most beloved dishes of Sicilian tradition, with origins dating back to the Arab domination of the 9th century. A dish born out of necessity, transformed into a symbol.
