Frequently Asked Questions (Google's Top Searches)
Are Delamaris sardines wild-caught?
Yes. Delamaris uses 100% wild-caught sardines harvested from sustainable European fisheries. They are processed using traditional methods to maintain firm texture and optimal nutritional integrity.
Are the bones in canned sardines safe to eat?
Yes! The pressure-cooking process used during canning softens the delicate sardine bones completely, making them soft, edible, and easy to digest. Eating whole sardines with bones provides an exceptional source of natural, bioavailable calcium.
Do you need to drain the extra virgin olive oil from the sardine tin?
No, you don't have to! The oil inside the tin is high-quality extra virgin olive oil infused with healthy Omega-3 fats and natural flavors from the sardines. Use the oil as a base for salad dressings, drizzle it over warm pasta, or dip crusty bread directly into the tin.
Are sardines low in mercury compared to other fish?
Yes. Sardines sit at the bottom of the ocean food chain, feeding primarily on plankton. Because of their small size and short lifespan, they contain significantly lower levels of heavy metals and mercury than larger predatory fish like tuna or swordfish, making them safe for regular consumption.
Are Delamaris sardines keto, paleo, and gluten-free friendly?
Yes. Delamaris Sardines in EVOO contain zero carbs, zero sugar, and zero additives. They are 100% gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, and Mediterranean-diet compliant.
How should unopened canned sardines be stored?
Store unopened tins in a cool, dark pantry. Canned sardines have an exceptional shelf life (often 3 to 5 years) and actually continue to absorb flavor from the extra virgin olive oil over time! Once opened, transfer any unused fish to an airtight container, refrigerate, and consume within 2 days.
