We fell in love with Pinhais' canned sardines when we visited Lisbon last year. With our return to Portugal, we decided to plan a trip to Pinhais' headquarters in Portos and what an amazing surprise. We were able to get a private tour with the three of us. We saw the process from start to finish using age old processes and materials that deliver a very special product. They take pride in their work and you can see that they do not rush or take short cuts. We met the ladies that do almost all of the process by hand. What a special place. It certainly solidified our desire to only buy Pinhais and Nuri when I can.
