  1. Surprised to see these get such a low rating! I've been doing side-by-side sardine tastings lately - the Iberian Peninsula tasting was between Bela, Matiz Gallego and Angelo Parodi. I thought Bela was the best of the three! I loved the smoke flavor.

    1. The texture was a tad to soft for my liking. I see I am missing some info on the other two tins, I may do a revisit.
