Notable facts
- Founded by Dutch chef Bart van Olphen in Amsterdam, working across roughly 19 fisheries and around 600 fishers and sharing profit with fishing communities.
- Sardine sourcing names a Newlyn, Cornwall pilchard fishery, and the sardine range is MSC-certified and B Corp.
- Provenance caution: a Cornish catch does not establish British canning, and no UK cannery is confirmed, so the product should not be classified as British-made.
