NURI, the artisanal sardine
With its selected and limited production, every can of NURI represents a true legacy. Our sardines are prepared by hand, using traditional methods passed down through generations in Matosinhos, Portugal. From the selection of the freshest fish to the careful manual preparation and wrapping, each step is carried out with dedication, ensuring authentic Portuguese artisanal sardines of exceptional quality.
NURI stands as a symbol of craftsmanship, flavor, and heritage, a unique product enjoyed by those who appreciate genuine artisanal foods made by people, for people.
A unique legacy of living history.
NURI is produced at Pinhais & Cᵃ Lda., a historic cannery founded in 1920 in Matosinhos, Portugal. It remains one of the very few canning companies that still follows a fully traditional production method. This commitment ensures unmatched quality, texture, and flavor.
Our differentiation lies in the selection of the best fish, the freshness of our ingredients, and our century-old artisanal techniques, carefully perfected and protected over generations. Every detail matters: the hands that prepare each sardine have been trained by decades of practice.
We proudly say that “the real secret is in our hands”.
TRADITION
At NURI, tradition is not a concept, it is a daily practice. We preserve the methods established by our founders, ensuring that every sardine is prepared the same way it has been for over 100 years: manually, carefully, and with respect for time-honored craftsmanship.
FRESH INGREDIENTS
Only the freshest ingredients are selected for our recipes. We choose each element with precision and use only the best olive oil, vegetables, and spices. Everything is natural, 100% authentic, and sourced with care.
FAMILY
The skilled hands behind NURI represent our family spirit. Knowledge is passed from generation to generation, creating a close-knit community of artisans dedicated to maintaining the highest quality. This family extends to employees, partners, and customers who share the memorable moments our products inspire.
SUSTAINABILITY
As a small-scale producer, we work responsibly with marine resources. We partner with trusted suppliers who follow sustainable fishing practices and international standards. By preferring manual production and minimizing machinery use, we naturally reduce our environmental impact.
UNIQUE
The production process for NURI preserves is unique, since currently there is no canning company that is faithful to the traditional method in all its production. 37 steps are required to produce a NURI can. It is a genuine and authentic process of superior quality.
QUALITY
Since 1920, our production method has remained faithful to tradition. Our factory is internationally certified, and we meet some of the strictest food safety and quality standards in the world. Each can represents our ongoing commitment to producing the best Portuguese artisanal sardines.
