Cantabrian Anchovies in Olive Oil - 100g

Cantabrian Sea anchovies are purchased directly from fishing boats, selecting only the freshest anchovies of optimal size.

These are salted and packed in traditional tins and dried for at least 12 months. The anchovy fillets are prepared by hand and in the traditional way.

The preparation of good anchovies requires three main factors: a long maturation period under controlled temperature, the salted anchovies must be properly washed to achieve the right degree of salinity and, finally, they must be "conscientiously" raised to get rid of all bones.

The Yurrita cannery is a family business founded in 1867. In its early days, it produced and sold marinated and salted fish distributed from Mutriku to the rest of Spain. The original cannery began its work in the basement of the Yurrita family home and was known as Casa Mauleón. Among all the current Spanish canneries, it is probably the oldest building dedicated to fish canning.
