These exquisite anchovies, packed in the finest Spanish olive oil, are hand-packed according to traditional methods using carefully selected fresh fish harvested off the Cantabrian Coast in northern Spain.

The anchovy, a traditional food of the Basque Country, is a mainstay of this region's fishing economy. The Spanish name "boqueron" comes from the size of the anchovy's mouth or boca, which is large in proportion to the rest of the body. Anchovies are typically harvested in the spring when they accumulate the most fat and flavor. Small nets are used to protect the quality of the fish and reduce by-catch. Once caught they are gutted, placed in barrels with salt-layer separations, and weighted. Once the fish have matured, a minimum of 6 months, they are washed to remove the bones and skin, and then canned in high quality olive oil.

Anchovies are high in Omega-3 fatty acids which reduce cholesterol and help in the prevention of cardio-vascular disease. They are also rich in iodine, calcium, Vitamins A, D, B12, B6, B2, and unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid.



Ingredients: Anchovies, olive oil, salt.

For maximum flavor and freshness please keep refrigerated once you receive them.

Great Snack! 01/18/2013
By Leah
I have to confess: I love anchovies! I prefer to eat the Arroyabe Anchovies straight from the tin. Not kidding. They are just that good. When I manage to get them into a recipe with other food, it's been a couple of pasta dishes and the occasional sandwich-type wrap. A great pop of flavor!

The Best 06/04/2019

I've tried other anchovies in my Caeasar Salad and am always disappointed. These are the best, and now the only ones I will buy and use.
