Exceptional quality sizes to satisfy the most expert palates. These Anchovies stand out for their meatiness and aromatic flavor. An exceptional product, with an intense flavor and a firm texture.
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 spend at least 6 months maturing until they reach their best. From that moment on, we select the largest anchovies and prepare them following our ‘traditional’ recipe. Thanks to the know-how of expert anchovy masters, they are individually hand filleted and finally preserved in olive oil.
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. Refrigerated olive oil may be semi-solid, so take it out of the package for a few minutes at room temperature and it will become liquid.
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:
In this case they 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.
