RÖDEL MILLESIME SARDINES

THE MYTH OF TASTE

MILLESIME CLASSIC

Once a year, for just one exceptional week, sardines reach their peak—tender, perfectly textured, and rich in Omega-3. At that moment, off the coast of Brittany, local fishermen catch them and bring them to port fresh - never frozen.

Hand-selected the same day, they're cleaned, lightly fried, and preserved in oil to marinate. This is the essence of Millésime—a rare vintage of the sea.

MILLESIME BONELESS

Created especially for Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, Rodel sardines were born from royal concern. The palace feared guests might encounter bones during a state dinner.

Their request inspired a delicacy: sardines expertly deboned by hand. It’s a matter of precision, patience, and true craftsmanship - tiny bones, fine knives, and no room for error.

CHICA PICA

At a private dinner at Rodel’s house, a family friend, the Venezuelan ambassador—spoke of a mystical spice from his homeland: Chica Pica. Meaning Wild Girl, it's a fiery, bold blend with a wild, unforgettable taste.

Rodel used this secret mix to create his signature sardines, guarding the Chica Pica recipe.for over a century.
