Mediterranean Context
In Mediterranean coastal kitchens, anchovies are not a luxury.They are a daily ingredient.
Fresh anchovies are enjoyed seasonally, while preserved anchovy fillets extend their presence throughout the year. Preserving them in olive oil protects texture, rounds flavor, and allows anchovies to be used directly at the table or in simple preparations.
This practice prioritizes respect for the fish rather than heavy processing.
The Character of Anchovy Fillets
Clean and Delicate Flesh
Anchovies are carefully filleted to remove bones and impurities, resulting in tender, uniform pieces.
Balanced Salinity
Salt is used with restraint, ensuring the natural umami of the fish remains present without sharpness.
Traditional Preparation Approach
Careful Cleaning and Filleting
Each anchovy is cleaned and prepared before preservation.
Preserved in Olive Oil
Olive oil acts as both protector and flavor carrier, maintaining moisture and balance.
Pasteurized for Stability
Pasteurization ensures food safety while preserving traditional character.
