Mediterranean Context

Anchovy is not a topping. It is a foundation.

In Mediterranean cooking, anchovy is often dissolved into sauces, oils, and bases to add depth without announcing itself. The goal is not to taste anchovy directly, but to feel structure, salinity, and umami.

This sauce follows that tradition.

The Character of Anchovy Based Sauce

Deep Natural Umami

Anchovy delivers savory richness that integrates smoothly.

Balanced Salinity

Saltiness is present but controlled, supporting other ingredients.

Traditional Preparation Approach

Anchovy Selection

Only anchovies suitable for emulsification and umami release are used.

Gentle Processing

Anchovies are processed to dissolve into the sauce rather than dominate it.

Pasteurized for Stability

Pasteurization ensures shelf life while maintaining depth.
