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.
The Anchovy is a migratory fish, which throughout its life travels thousands of kilometers in search of food. At Conservas Ortiz we fish the highest quality anchovy from the Cantabrian Sea.
Our Anchovies are classified by size, their heads are removed by hand and they are left to mature in barrels with salt and press for a minimum of 6 months. Once at their best, they are individually hand filleted and packed in olive oil. Perfect as an appetizer.
Once opened, in order to maintain all its full flavor for up to five days, it is important to keep the anchovies in the refrigerator, preferably covered and submerged in olive oil, adding more if necessary.
Anchovies hold a special place of honor in the kitchen, not only because of their delicious flavor and versatility, but also because they have a number of unique properties:
Our Old Style Anchovies are packed in olive oil, rich in oleic acid, which helps regulate harmful levels of cholesterol in the blood.
Have you heard of the fifth taste? Umami is a common term in top chefs’ kitchens. This Japanese word, which means delicious flavor, is very present in anchovies. Its intensity and versatility make it an ingredient capable of enhancing many dishes, including meat, pasta and pizzas. Add it to your recipes as a final touch to the dish to enjoy all its flavor.
