Charles Rödel discovered that sardines reach peak quality for just a few days each year. Caught and prepared within 24 hours, then matured for months, they offer unmatched depth of flavour.

Originally created for Emperor Pedro II of Brazil, these boneless sardines were born of royal concern. Each is delicately hand-deboned with precision and care.

At a private dinner at Rödel’s house, a family friend, the Venezuelan ambassador, spoke of a mystical spice from his homeland: Chica Pica. Meaning “Wild Girl,” it is a fiery, bold blend with an unforgettable taste. Chica Pica is registered trade mark.

Delicate Atlantic sardines, hand-packed in olive oil with sun-dried tomato, chilli, and a touch of Brittany sea salt — a bold harmony of sea and spice.

Hand-prepared from the finest seafood of Brittany, preserved in smooth olive oil with green pepper and a touch of sea salt, offering a refined balance of richness and gentle spice.

Rödel sardines in fine olive oil, lifted with achards (Indian pickles) and a hint of black truffle (1%). A delicate harmony of freshness and depth — the truffle does not dominate, but blends in as a secret note of refinement.

Fish and lemon belong together - a timeless pairing. Infused in fine olive oil, lemon adds a bright, subtle lift that balances the richness of our sardines.
