What You Should Know

You'd spot this tin on a grocery shelf or in a pantry — a shelf-stable protein for quick salads, toast, or a camping snack. It reads wholesome and slightly indulgent thanks to organic extra virgin olive oil, offering a firm, flaky texture from canning and long shelf life. The short ingredient list (mackerel, olive oil, sea salt) points to simple processing rather than an ultra-processed formulation.
