Anchovy fillets with Don Battista chilli pepper in sunflower oil
Tender and fleshy fillets of Cantabrian anchovies carefully selected and processed in an artisanal way. Superior quality, inimitable sweetness and unmistakable taste characterize Don Battista anchovy fillets.
Fished in the Cantabrian Sea between the north of Spain and the south-west of France, the Cantabrian anchovies are the most prized anchovies and sought after by connoisseurs. The inimitable flavor of these anchovies is given by a thicker layer of fat due to the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean and excellent oxygenation.
Cantabrian Anchovies, despite being Spanish, are linked to our Sicilian tradition since it was a Sicilian from Trapani, Giovanni Vella Scatagliota, who discovered and appreciated their quality. Before then, in fact, the caught anchovies were used by Spanish fishermen as bait for more valuable fish or were released into the sea.
