Discover Anchovies in Olive Oil 7/8 Fillets, 50 g. Conservas Catalina

Anchovies in Olive Oil 7/8 Fillets, 50 g. Conservas Catalina are a gourmet semi-preserved delicacy handcrafted in Santoña (Cantabria) using Cantabrian Sea anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus) caught during the spring fishing season. These authentic Santoña anchovies follow a traditional salt-curing process, careful manual cleaning and artisanal hand-filleting, being packed one by one in olive oil.

This 50 g format, with a size of 7/8 fillets, offers carefully selected pieces with firm texture, natural shine and a perfectly balanced salt point. As a semi-preserved product, it must be kept refrigerated between 5º and 12º C to maintain its full organoleptic qualities.

Serving Suggestions & Pairings

Within the world of anchovies, this format is perfect for individual consumption or for an intimate and refined gastronomic experience.

• Classic tradition: served on crusty bread with grated tomato and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
• Refined pairing: fruity white wine or brut cava to enhance its marine notes.
• Gourmet salads: adding saline intensity and textural contrast.
• Final touch: on premium tapas and pintxos.

Tip: remove the tin from the refrigerator 15–20 minutes before serving so the oil regains fluidity and the flavour reaches its full expression.

Artisanal Production

The process begins with the careful selection of Cantabrian anchovies at their optimal maturation point. After the catch, traditional salt curing begins, allowing the anchovies to develop aromatic depth and firm texture.

Each fillet is manually cleaned, removing skin and bones with precision. The traditional hand-filleting process ensures a uniform, clean and glossy presentation. They are then carefully packed in olive oil, which protects the product and balances its intensity.

Production is limited and responds to strict excellence criteria, always prioritising quality over volume.
