About
Ati Manel represents the beautiful resurrection of Portuguese preserving heritage—revived when Luís Mendonça discovered his great-grandfather's hidden recipes and supplier relationships from the early 20th century. This remarkable rediscovery breathed new life into a brand that combines nostalgic mid-century aesthetics with contemporary interpretations of traditional Portuguese seafood preparations. Each distinctive tin showcases expertly sourced fish and seafood from the waters of Portugal and Galicia and time-honored recipes enhanced with signature spice blends that honor the brand's rich culinary history . Through their meticulous attention to quality and authentic flavor profiles, Ati Manel creates a sensory bridge between Portugal's proud preserving past and modern gourmet expectations. Experience the unique taste of garfish in spiced olive oil —firmer and slightly saltier than sardines with a pleasant heat that pairs perfectly with a simple squeeze of lemon. Savor Portuguese tradition with plump Iberian sardines in bright tomato sauce , ideal layered on warm sourdough or transformed into a gourmet grilled cheese. Enjoy the comforting depth of tender scallops in traditional caldeirada sauce , evoking Portugal's beloved seafood stew. For a truly distinctive experience, try the pole-caught skipjack tuna fillets bathed in a complex, floral-noted olive oil infusion—a sensory journey through Iberian culinary heritage.
