Most companies should do daycares. It cost relatively little to have a daycare for your employees and the benefits for the employees is huge. Not only does it save the employee a ton of damn money because the cost of day cares are not exactly cheap, but it also saves them tons of time in their commute because they can just take their kid home with them instead of taking detour just to get their kid. Plus the kids feel more at ease knowing their parents are relatively close. Huge benefits just for the cost of paying for the salary of usually just one or two people.
Ramirez is pretty poor quality especially for a Portuguese brand. Probably because they can frozen and defrosted fish rather than fresh, sameday. If you really want a supreme product get your hands on a can of Nuri.
This company shows that they care for their workers and their families. I wish more companies can have in house daycare for their employees children's. Image how more productive the employees can be, instead of running late for work because they need to drop off their kids or request to leave early to pick up the kids from daycare, because once you don't pickup your child at a a specific time, the daycare charge you per minute, most daycare here in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
The more traditional way this is solved is having relatives watch kids, like grandparents and the like. This is more practical if you live more traditionally, with multiple generations living together, and you have grandparents that aren't still working because for some reason we've chosen to organize society in such a way. It's absolutely hilarious that, at the cost people estimate kids incur for their parents, almost no parents would be able to afford even one.

The only country in the world with actual sustainable fisheries is Australia. Every one else just plunders the oceans. Fishing when something is at 10% or less of its original population like sardines or bluefin tuna is beyond asinine. Just look at the passenger pigeon, I bet no one thought they’d ever go extinct either.
Ngl, the fishing restrictions are kinda bulshit. They were actually imposed on us by the european union, not our government. The basis for the amount of fish a country can catch is the amount of people living in said country. Since Portugal has only a 10m population, we actually fish MUCH less than we could, since we also have a massive eez (20th largest in the world). Usually, spanish ships are caught on our eez fishing OUR fish and depleting our fish populations, since they can fish more than us because they have 5x our puppulation. Also, fisherman can't catch fish that doesn't meet certain size criteria, and usually dump these fish when they arive at shore, just so they don't get fined by the maritime police. This results in smaller fish getting dumped and not consumed.
When i was a kid i remember seeing my grandfather with a can of sardines, he would crack open a can, empty the water out and put Italian salad dressing inside and eat it like that. I wanted to try it and it has been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since. My grandfather loved sardines even before WWII, During WWII he loved them even more and when he met my grandmother who was italian and she made salad dressing, as a joke she handed him a jar of the salad dressing and said Here put this in there at least it will smell good! He tried it and said Actually its even more tasty now I may have a second can! To which Opa told me that Mama responded by laughing then throwing her shoe at him LMAO!!!
Great tale of 'How Grampa met Gramma':)! I usta eat sardines & pork n beans w/my Dad by backyard fire. Flat sticks were our utensils-ez to 'do the dishes'=burn 'em! These feesh are kinda large for sardines tho:/
In 200 years none of us alive now, will be here. Many low elevation cities will be under the sea. Global warming will cause more disasters than today. Flooding these days are really bad.
I'm 37 years old and just now eating sardines. 😆 My wife bought 2 boxes for our food stash. Took a couple for lunch one day... they are so convenient to have as lunch quick easy no mess your done. And cheap, I think. I haven't bought any I just take them from the pantry lol.
Pretty soon sardines will become a “rich food” like caviar and lobster. After all, historically , people viewed caviar and lobster the same way we view sardines today
The Somali's only began attacking other ships and became 'pirates' because foreign fishing fleets came and decimated their fish stocks, ruining their way of life, livelihoods and a vital food source.
I have always loved Portuguese Sardines.. As a Boy during our Cub Scout Camping days, l would bring several cans of Portuguese Sardines for a quick meals. Am now 73 and still love Portuguese Sardines but its current price and availability in my country in the Far East , is a Great deterrent to purchase Portuguese Sardines nowadays. The price of A can of Portuguese Sardines here is equivalent to 6-cans of locally produced Sardines!!
Looks like an amazing company, used to dislike fish in general but sardines are one of the healthiest options out there. Definitely a food source I eat occasionally.
In 1937 the Portuguese Government bought a large quantity of Mauser K98 rifles from the German Government, to supplement their older 6,5 mm Mauser Vergueiro. They became the so-called Mauser 37A in the Portuguese Army. Part of the payment was made by the supplying of canned sardines for the _Wehrmacht_ and in tungsten ore, of which Portugal had large resources. They made artillery shells and armour piercing ammo with it. Being neutral, we sold it to everyone until 1943, when Allied pressure to stop selling to the Germans increased and Hitler had become a lesser threat.
if this was in the United States the company would charge employees half their salary for the daycare. The idea of the US is awesome but has been destroyed by corporations, taxes, and greed.
Yes but if this was in the US they would also not get paid 705 euros/month in a country where you can't buy a house anymore for less than 100.000 euros and rent of a 1 bedroom flat is never less than 500 euros/month.
I grew up in the desert so we didn't eat much fish. I remember having sardines for the first time as a college freshman. Instantly became one of my staples in college haha. Not so much the chili ones though
+$5 per 4.4oz tin (from Amazon) can put them out of business. They could be the best among the few buyers at that price level, but that would not be enough.
in the beginning of the video, the lady touching the inside of the tuna can with her fingers raw no glove is absolutely mind boggling. like how is that allowed?
In my state Kerala,India lying on the west coast of Arabian sea Sardines are the most popular fish. We can't imagine a week with out sardines. Portugal was our first Colonizer, but they never built any caning industry here. Goa, another former colony, has canning industry.
wow i have only eaten sardines a handful of times, but i learned to love canned fish because of camping late night sardine or herring snack taste great with some liquor
A company that can(lol) adapt to outside change is definitely one that will survive/outlive the competition. Their story of change is truly amazing and I hope they keep going for decades to come.
Companies that last this long are due to a number of factors, not the least of which is the appreciation and loyalty of employees who don't feel "entitled." They are content to labor in a company that cares for them, and they don't feel like they are "owed" a higher wage nor do they resent the owners and bosses. American culture has sunk so far into the abyss that even workers at solid companies complain about their wages and resent the bosses for making more than they do. Kudos to this company for doing things right throughout the generations. May they continue to be productive for many more generations to come.
Love them sardines. I toured the Brunswick sardine factory in Maine back in the late 70s and was impressed. Thanks for the video for it was very informative.
Funny story: when working at a factory, one of the janitors was an old Newfie guy (slang for someone from Newfoundland, Canada...They're an odd bunch) who would tell outlandish stories on breaks and lunch. The absolute best was when he enthusiastically claimed that his father was the person who INVENTED putting fish into cans...it was pretty great breaktime entertainment lmfao.
@@kiloton1920 Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, is the leading place causing sardine population depredation, due to its fishing industry, and also a major contributor of the Gulf of California pollution. Mexico doesn't really care much about the environment, money is king over there.
They did not go extinct. The Monterey sardine population was misunderstood. And they overfished them at a down cycle. That is very important, as the Monterey sardines are in a now understood cycle at about 20 years. Well a single bad year is a death sentence for a cannery, much less 20. There is a fantastic display at the Monterey Aquarium on the subject, and it does appear CA is now in a sardine growth cycle. By the way, often in a down cycle the sardines are still in the water, however they don't school. And if they don't school, there are none to be caught except for some bait fish.
After school I worked in factory in Maine with dream of trucking. I run cutter and alot of jobs then I driver new had license my career started then I hauled fish in and waste out. I've hauled alot of finished from eastern Canada to California. Boats grew 7 trucks to 1 million pounds 25 trucks every 2 days loaded and like 5 others doin the same
Yes Portugal does not have a Mediterranean coastline, but it does have the Mediterranean "Culture", like all the countries that are in that area, maybe that's why people make that mistake so often. Also it could just be a lack of geographical knowledge.
well that's not true at all. Can contain arsenic, mercury and PCBs. Sardines in particular also contain purines and highly increase the risk of kidney stones. You can get every single kind of vegetable canned... So sardines wouldn't even be in the top 95% of healthy canned foods. It's probably closer to to the health benefits of SPAM than it is to the likes of a can of chickpeas.
The small coastal town I live in in Maine had numerous sardine canneries. In the early 1900’s they were packed with child labor, of course the whole family(s) worked there the majority of their lives.
Do to my schedule, I’ve had a lot of difficulty eating healthy, but everything changed when I discovered sardines. Such a versatile, easy, and healthy, food!
Next time you have a tedious, repetitive, inhumane day at your job, remember the people that have to fill those little cans with slippery, smelly fish every day, all day.
Sad to hear that so many natural resources have been over harvested. Hopefully with concerted efforts we can restore natural populations of Sardines, Tuna, Salmon, Oysters, Deer, Bison etc.
You had better never eat in a restaurant. Or eat a lot of other commercial foods. I'll bet your grandmother touched the food she was preparing. Did you ever eat at grandma's house?
Sardines are called chala/Matti in our place and it's one of the delicious and nutritious fish you ever found especially in Arabian sea. Loved the initiative and hope you buoyed in this uncertain times...environmental and economical.
I like how they blame warming temperatures to the decrease in catch instead of the fact that they were overfishing and that is the more likely and logical cause of the decrease in catch.
The rich see an economic crisis as a garage sale and also the rich stay rich by investing and diversifying their portfolio with stock, crypto currency investment which is the wisest thing every individual need to do and it is really profitable.
You are right about that do you mind sharing with me how to get intouch with Mrs Amy Robinette. I have little to no knowledge about crypto currencies and I have seen the rise from 100 USD to over 50k USD in the last few years.
Sardines and smoked oysters, two canned things that always wind up in my pack when I go on long hunting / camping trips. Wish I could send some venison to the hard workers who pack some of my favorite snacks.
I think they was just stating dates probably. As much as I dislike celebrities they are very much a common talking point . A whole bunch of strangers knows Hitler the name rings a bell .that's like saying Dr Martin Luther King ate this after his speeches.idk. it's giving a time frame also a common person. But they say William ate this ...who the FF is William...unless it's Shakespeare of course.
who gives a shit, Hitler drove in mercedez caravans and the volkswagen is literally the "folks' wagon" or the people's wagon generated from that time period. Now people everywhere drive these cars.
Interestingly, _Ramirez_ is a Spanish surname; the Portuguese equivalent ending with a S. Ramirez is actually more well known in Portugal for its canned Tuna; but their sardines in tomato sauce are great as well. I can attest, it was my own dinner yesterday with mashed potatoes and salad! 😀 Now more seriously, the lack of fish is becoming very serious indeed. For centuries the Portuguese caught tonnes of sardines and Codfish. (the latter in Newfoundland) Nowadays we struggle to get any, and fish on sale are more and more from species no one used to care before, and of poor taste. Take a silver Swordfish, for example. They're all gone! 🙁 At the most you may find the black variety, once despised and now so expensive. So sad... Try some grilled sardines if you come up in Portugal in the Summer. They're great too, and dirt cheap! 😀 🇵🇹
In Australia you can find Portuguese sardines $10 a tin or $1 for Chinese. I just get fresh Aussie sardines and BBQ them garlic parsley salt pepper on fresh bread. Delicious..
Where do you live? if you're close to Sydney, in particular Petersham, you can find Portuguese sardines for $3 a tin, sometimes you can even find whole frozen sardines from Portugal. And there is no comparison between the Atlantic sardine and the Pacific sardine that are always way more dry
@@johnny_eth As a Portuguese, that is not exactly right, it depends more where you've been raised...I've ate plenty of grilled sardines but some of my friends who didn't have such opportunity, would just eat canned ones. So like everything in this world, it depends.
Very rare for a company pass from generation to generation, and not selling to multinational corp. Good job and continue on for generations to come.
Yes. Generally, by the third generation, they have no real interest in running the business and just want to cash out and live large.

Pull the other one we see you
the ones that sold out apparently shutdown. Sometimes you need a personal stake in the company to run it properly.
and that ensures good quality. as soon as multinationals take over the quality goes 2 shit

4:30 Portugal does not have a Mediterranean coastline. Why does everyone make this mistake?
It is a US production...
Yes Portugal does not have a Mediterranean coastline, but it does have the Mediterranean "Culture", like all the countries that are in that area, maybe that's why people make that mistake so often. Also it could just be a lack of geographical knowledge.
Yes, you’re right! In the description box they correct themselves!
'muricans...
I could eat sardines by the bucket-load, I LOVE them. Going to buy some tomorrow.
🤮
What brand should I try available in the US?
@@vhcxhbvg King Oscar
@@vhcxhbvg I like season and wild planet. they're usually available at a low price at costco/sam's if you have a membership to either.
200 years, still in the family, and still going strong...Longevity, Longevity, Longevity!
I have three cans in my truck right now, for upcoming winter road trips.😎
My elementary teacher once asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said "A sardine".
So... are you a sardine?
4:04 The FUNCTION of sterilization is not to kill off any bacteria on the OUTSIDE.
sardines are one of the healthiest food that is canned. Great source of protein, portable, and can be really tasty when prepared right
well that's not true at all. Can contain arsenic, mercury and PCBs. Sardines in particular also contain purines and highly increase the risk of kidney stones. You can get every single kind of vegetable canned... So sardines wouldn't even be in the top 95% of healthy canned foods. It's probably closer to to the health benefits of SPAM than it is to the likes of a can of chickpeas.
How do you prepare your sardines?
Mackerel is very good too.
grilled sardines is the best way to cook no doubt
This is a company that has balanced culture and innovation
and wiped out the srdine population...yeah well done 👎
Oh wow, the daycare thing alone is a HUGE deal! I love seeing companies that do what's right.
The small coastal town I live in in Maine had numerous sardine canneries. In the early 1900’s they were packed with child labor, of course the whole family(s) worked there the majority of their lives.
oh dear a family working together you mean like farming or market gardens etc
Conservas Pinhais (Portugal) still does everything by hand. There is a RUclips video on that company too. Better sardines.
Do to my schedule, I’ve had a lot of difficulty eating healthy, but everything changed when I discovered sardines. Such a versatile, easy, and healthy, food!
Sardines very tasty and healthy fish 🐟 😋
Fun fact:
Canada had to levy seizure of Portugal fishing boats because they would come over to Canada to scrap the ocean bottom for everything.
The in house daycare is brilliant
On-site daycare should be standard in all workplaces!
I don't think I've ever loved a food more than sardines, could eat them all day.
I bet that place smells lovely
Man from Philippines here
Spanish Sardines are 🔥
so many of them dont even have gloves on. wild how food safety standards are lower their.
I live in Atlantic Canada, I love this company.
If they made tuna salads I would buy so many, nowadays its my preferred tin snack
I'm Canadian from New Brunswick, where Brunswick sardines and other fish products were canned since 1893.
The CEO seems just a bit too proud, just a bit, that his company's cans were found in Hitler's bunker..
The voiceover who pronounced (Fatima) is the best one spelled this Arabic name yet
“Portugal’s mediterranen coastline” Sure…
Hahaha right...its hard to believe anything someone had to say after such a stupid mistake
I checked a map because when she said that I thought that wasn't right. But I did check to make sure. Portugal's coastal ocean is the Atlantic.
They are probably talking about the mediterranean climate
@@danieldionisio6268 then they would have said "mediterranean climate" not "mediterranean coastline"
Next time you have a tedious, repetitive, inhumane day at your job, remember the people that have to fill those little cans with slippery, smelly fish every day, all day.
What? A company that understands that if the childcare is near the daily wage, there is zero motivation for an employee to show up.
Somos nos 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
It's US Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹
Nothing better then my country....Portugal
Canned fish can be one of the most easily enjoyed foods available. I love it.
I got hungry watching so many fresh Sardines.
Feeding both allies and axis! What a history!
Same as PepsiCo with Fanta
that's business alright.
Sad to hear that so many natural resources have been over harvested. Hopefully with concerted efforts we can restore natural populations of Sardines, Tuna, Salmon, Oysters, Deer, Bison etc.
They're down 70,000 tons since 1980 and they're still the one thing you can guarantee will never sell out at the grocery stores
I will never eat canned sardines after watching this.thought it was canned fully automated but touched and filled with bare hands!!!!??
Boo hoo 😭
You had better never eat in a restaurant. Or eat a lot of other commercial foods. I'll bet your grandmother touched the food she was preparing. Did you ever eat at grandma's house?
I would be very, very surprised if this wasn't in Portugal but I was not let down!
Yeap...raising temperature of the ocean is the cause, not the over fishing of 100.000 tons a year 👍
Sardines are called chala/Matti in our place and it's one of the delicious and nutritious fish you ever found especially in Arabian sea. Loved the initiative and hope you buoyed in this uncertain times...environmental and economical.
Great video! I have just "discovered" sardines and now wonder why it took me so long to find out about them.
Will be on the lookout for this brand!
Sardines are good, I just tried them for the first time not long ago. They weren’t nearly as fishy as I thought they’d be. Good little snack.
Is 4:10 in the morning and now I'm craving sardines over rice. 😑 thank you business insider.
I like how they blame warming temperatures to the decrease in catch instead of the fact that they were overfishing and that is the more likely and logical cause of the decrease in catch.
they literally blame overfishing at 5:20
Take a shot each time a business insider video mentions global warming and you'll be dead from liver failure by early everning.
They shoehorn the climate change agenda into everything
if im understanding what I heard right the pull tab was developed thanks to sardines? fascinating
The difference between a Rich person and a Poor person is how they use their time. Your Future is created by what you do Today not your Tomorrow.
The rich see an economic crisis as a garage sale and also the rich stay rich by investing and diversifying their portfolio with stock, crypto currency investment which is the wisest thing every individual need to do and it is really profitable.
You are right about that do you mind sharing with me how to get intouch with Mrs Amy Robinette. I have little to no knowledge about crypto currencies and I have seen the rise from 100 USD to over 50k USD in the last few years.
Thank you so much I will definitely reach out.
Wow, Is amazing to see people who have also invested with Amy Robinette. I thought am the only one she helped through this rough market.
I've heard about Mrs Amy Robinette but was sceptical to invest due to fear and ignorance, anyway can i verify her service ?
Sardines and smoked oysters, two canned things that always wind up in my pack when I go on long hunting / camping trips. Wish I could send some venison to the hard workers who pack some of my favorite snacks.
A fantastic company from a fantastic country!
Browsing your channel islike going back to school again! It will benefit me for life! Your channel is great! We have learned a lot from you!
"some of our cans were found in hilter's bunker" Idk if that's something to be proud about 🧐
I think they was just stating dates probably. As much as I dislike celebrities they are very much a common talking point . A whole bunch of strangers knows Hitler the name rings a bell .that's like saying Dr Martin Luther King ate this after his speeches.idk. it's giving a time frame also a common person. But they say William ate this ...who the FF is William...unless it's Shakespeare of course.
@@quannafriedrice4750 Riiiiight....
He's famous person
who gives a shit, Hitler drove in mercedez caravans and the volkswagen is literally the "folks' wagon" or the people's wagon generated from that time period. Now people everywhere drive these cars.
Ramirez - my favourite Portuguese sardine brand.
American companys need to learn how to treat employees better. No labor shortage for this guy
Love it. Now they only need to figure out how to get rid of Phtalates within the cans coating.
Interestingly, _Ramirez_ is a Spanish surname; the Portuguese equivalent ending with a S. Ramirez is actually more well known in Portugal for its canned Tuna; but their sardines in tomato sauce are great as well. I can attest, it was my own dinner yesterday with mashed potatoes and salad! 😀
Now more seriously, the lack of fish is becoming very serious indeed. For centuries the Portuguese caught tonnes of sardines and Codfish. (the latter in Newfoundland) Nowadays we struggle to get any, and fish on sale are more and more from species no one used to care before, and of poor taste. Take a silver Swordfish, for example. They're all gone! 🙁 At the most you may find the black variety, once despised and now so expensive. So sad...
Try some grilled sardines if you come up in Portugal in the Summer. They're great too, and dirt cheap! 😀 🇵🇹
I feel like a proud parent watching this. Love the longevity and evolution here
Im amazed that the ocean still has fish. Im suprized that humans are suprized that the ocean has less fish after catching the shit out off the ocean.
well there is a lot of fish just not the kinds we want
@@artski09 bullshit. We humans eat everything
They are packing easily 1-2 million fish PER DAY. 300 000 cans x 4 sardines, plus all the other products.
It's not "over warming temperatures", it's over fishing!!!!
I love it, Very friendly conservation with the employees, Beautiful product, God bless you.
Sardines are great! I like the smaller ones better though
In Australia you can find Portuguese sardines $10 a tin or $1 for Chinese. I just get fresh Aussie sardines and BBQ them garlic parsley salt pepper on fresh bread. Delicious..
Where do you live? if you're close to Sydney, in particular Petersham, you can find Portuguese sardines for $3 a tin, sometimes you can even find whole frozen sardines from Portugal. And there is no comparison between the Atlantic sardine and the Pacific sardine that are always way more dry
@@marcelobraga5600 ok I’ll check that out.
Portuguese people in Portugal eat most of their sardine fresh on the grill.
@@johnny_eth As a Portuguese, that is not exactly right, it depends more where you've been raised...I've ate plenty of grilled sardines but some of my friends who didn't have such opportunity, would just eat canned ones. So like everything in this world, it depends.
My dad eats a lot Sardines. He likes the one in tomato sauce with a orange soda to wash it down with a bag of pig skins for dessert.
