What You Should Know

Season Brand Brisling Sardines in Olive Oil (3.75 oz) is a small, metal pull‑top tin of lightly smoked, wild‑caught brisling packed in olive oil with added salt. You’d typically find it on the canned seafood shelf of a grocery store, stacked near canned tuna, salmon, anchovies and smoked oysters, and sometimes displayed by specialty olive oils or Mediterranean pantry items. This product fits pantry‑stock shoppers preparing for quick meals, coastal or Mediterranean‑style weekend brunches (think sardine toast), and emergency or storm‑prep outings because it’s shelf‑stable and calorie‑dense. Season positions itself between value and specialty: the “Product of Scotland” and “wild caught” claims lean toward artisanal, sustainable imagery, while the modest 3.75‑oz tin and accessible branding make it appealing to practical, health‑focused consumers who want convenience and nutrients. The label leans on health halos — bold omega‑3 claims (label cites 2,500–3,000 mg per serving), “high in protein and calcium,” and “wild caught” — but there’s no organic certification or child‑oriented art; it reads more adult, pantry‑oriented and straightforward. In plain terms the fish is smoked and canned — preserved with oil and salt — a traditional processing method rather than heavily formulated. Sensory notes: firm, flaky fish with an oily, briny mouthfeel and a light smoke note; the olive oil adds richness. Rituals around use are simple — pop open the tin at home or on a picnic, drain or spoon on crackers, toast, salads, or incorporate into pastas and salads. The tin’s portability and long shelf life make it a staple for both adventurous eaters and pragmatic cooks.

Processed Food

Why this score?

This is a processed preserved food: whole fish lightly smoked and canned in oil with added salt. Ingredients are minimal (fish, olive oil, salt) and the product is shelf‑stable, so it fits the NOVA 'processed foods' category rather than unprocessed or ultra‑processed.
