    I really like the lady giving the interview/information, you can tell she's extremely passionate about the quality that goes into the sardines.

    Very happy about this episode. I'm Austrian myself and can confirm that these Nuri cans really are a special treat in Austria. Of course there sure are cans from other producers with similar quality, that can be bought here but that's in special delicacy shops. Nuri is available in every major shop and has a special standing among it's competitors.

    Great video. When the woman's narrative discusses the incredible smell of cooked fish and you sense the passion for creating their products and it's moving. Thank you for the video and thank you for the people that do this work.

    If you have some extra time in Portugal, I’d try to make it to their factory tour! It was a blast and their sardines I’ve the best I’ve ever had.
  • Her passion in what she does is remarkable .. it shows that she really loves and cares for her craft
  • @TheMaryWriter
    I once wrote a short story where I needed to research sardines and I'm pretty sure this was one of the companies I read about. Years later it's cool to see the actual process and how passionate these women are about their craft.

    it’s nice to see the care these cannery workers use for canning : I love to eat tinned sardines ! Healthy !
  • @dominicvg051
    I just had the Nuri with olive oil and spiced for the first time on sliced bread. OMG it’s delicious! I happen to find them in World Market and got excited.
  • @alienicecream
    Their spicy sardines are amazing. Cool to see this amazing company represented.
  • @user-nu2jr9bv7z
    I’ve enjoyed these for decades. My absolute favorite is the spiced Portuguese style. They can get expensive but in my opinion the best. I’ve introduced this brand to friends and it has also become their go to sardines.

  • @BeantownMrs
    My husband loves sardines. I will have to keep an eye out for this brand the next time I'm at the grocery store.
  • @DrJonez
    Pinhais really does offer a superior product. It's unlike anything you'll find made in North America. More expensive for sure, but worth every penny! Yum!
