Meaty and firm texture in the first bite
Our Cantabrian anchovies aren't those thin, salty flakes you find in the supermarket. They're thick, meaty fillets with a firm texture that you can feel when you bite into them. The extended curing process of 6 to 12 months transforms the anchovy's protein into a smooth, balanced, and addictive umami flavor. That's the difference between an anchovy and a truly great anchovy .
From tapas to signature dishes: the absolute star
A good Cantabrian anchovy can be the star of any occasion . On toast with grated tomato, topping a pizza, enhancing a salad, stuffing a piquillo pepper. Or simply on its own, with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It's the ingredient that transforms the simple into the memorable. When the anchovy is real, it needs no accompaniment.
From whitebait to anchovy: the art of curing
It all begins with an anchovy from the Cantabrian Sea, caught during the fishing season between April and June. It is salted in barrels and pressed for months. Slowly, the salt transforms its texture, color, and flavor. The flesh becomes pink, firm, and silky. It is a process that cannot be rushed : it requires patience, controlled temperature, and the expertise of generations of salters from northern Spain.
Approved by the most discerning palates
Michelin-starred restaurants, Basque Country pintxo bars, and gourmet homes across Spain choose our anchovies for one reason: consistency . Every tin, every sachet, every fillet maintains the same standard. No surprises, no weak batches, no variations in salt. It's the anchovy you order when you can't go wrong —for that special dinner, that gift that needs to impress, that appetizer you want to remember.
A flavor you can taste. And you'll want to come back for more.

Anchovy is the fresh anchovy ( Engraulis encrasicolus ), which can be prepared pickled or fried. Anchovy is the same anchovy that has undergone a 6-12 month salt curing process, which completely transforms its flavor, texture, and color. They are two very different products made from the same fish.
Once opened, consume within 3-5 days , keeping them covered in olive oil in the refrigerator (0-4°C). If canned, transfer to a glass or ceramic container for better preservation.
Not recommended. Freezing alters the delicate texture of cured anchovies. Upon thawing, they become softer and lose some of their character. Best kept refrigerated and consumed before the date indicated.
