These Anchovies have an unmistakable flavor thanks to the way they are prepared, using a traditional process identical to that of anchovies in olive oil, but they are packaged differently. Salt is carefully cleaned from the Anchovies, they are hand filleted and the skin is left on their backs, which gives them an original flavor reminiscent of salted anchovies.
