La Perle des Dieux French Sardines Gift Sets

Douce France is proud of having started a new partnership with La Perle des Dieux, highly reputed for the selection and preparation of the fish they take care of with extreme care and meticulous professionalism. 

Their beautiful packaging is the illustration of the wonderful job they do, and notably with local artists who decorate its tins of vintage sardines.

We thought these different French sardines sets would be a great gift idea for whoever love the quality of French sardines but also has an artistic spirit. 

Set 1 includes:  A tin of sardines freshly caught at sea topped with a slice of lemon and sprinkled with rigourously selected extra virgin oil to reveal fruity and intense aromas. A tin of nice sardines carefully placed by hand to show the grilled  stripes, which simply looks lovely and inviting! The flesh of the sardines, extremely smooth and melting, gives off subtle roasted aromas in mouth mixed with those of the herbs of Provence reminding you of BBQ parties in the summer! A tin of smooth and delicate oil-free sardine fillets sprinkled with marinade (a vinegar sauce used to flavour fish and make it taste good) made of thyme and fresh lemon. A tin of freshly caught sardines with chili, red pepper, French cornichons (pickles), harmoniously combine with the freshness of the sea in this uncomparable recipe. A very colourful and flavourful source of inspiration for get-together and parties!
