Mackerel, regardless of its size, is a fatty fish, like the sardines, and therefore has several health advantages: it is recommended for its high content of Omega 3, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, which protects the heart and helps to reduce the risk of heart attack by controlling the levels of cholesterol present in the blood.

To the health benefits of the mackerel, this preserve adds the homemade and traditional flavour of smoke, as well as the benefits of olive oil, regarded as a preferred fat in the Mediterranean diet.
