Sardina pilchardus, or the "European sardine", is a small, oily fish that thrives in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Reaching 15-20 cm, it forms large schools near the surface and feeds on plankton and small crustaceans. Highly prized in Portugal, Spain and France, the fish is caught sustainably using trap nets, thus preserving the seabed and allowing smaller fish to replenish stocks. They are then usually preserved by canning or smoking.

Berthe, a renowned fish cannery, originated in Portugal in 1853. They select the best fish from the Matosinhos fish market, process it meticulously and can it immediately through Ramirez & Ca. (Filhos) SA, one of the oldest canneries in the world, dating back to 1906. Tailored for the French market, Berthe cans have a French label with an iconic girl on the front, symbolizing Lyon literature. Today, Berthe is part of the Ramirez portfolio.
