Brand: Vaticano
Controlled fishing: Marca Vaticano pickled anchovies are fished in the Western Mediterranean Sea, FAO subarea 37.1.3: Tyrrhenian Sea, with purse seines from April to July
Processing: strictly manual and according to the ancient Sicilian tradition. Freshly caught, the anchovies are immersed in brine. After about 15-20 minutes they are removed from the brine, collected in special baskets and transferred to the work benches to eliminate the entrails and remove the head, the "scapping" phase. At this point the anchovies are selected, rinsed in brine and carefully placed in the containers, alternating a layer of salt and a layer of anchovies. This is followed by weighing, the pressing phase and finally maturation for a year and a half. This technique ensures that the anchovies have an unmistakable and inimitable taste thanks to the right balance between flavor and sweetness
Properties: large threads; pink color of the fillets typical of freshly caught processed fish; fleshy pulp, thicker and tastier due to the greater quantity of fat
