When the anchovies emerge from the curing process Angelachu use fishing net to scrape off excess salt rather than dousing the fillets with salt water. This helps to retain the rich flavour of the anchovy. These fillets are packed in a high quality extra virgin olive oil.

They come in the smaller tin - the octavillo size - the one you’re likely to be served when you order tapas in northern Spain. If you order a raçion, a sharing dish, you’ll be served the larger hansa tin. Try these anchovy fillets on buttered bread or toast.

Let the toast cool first so that the butter doesn’t melt!
