Cantabrian Anchovies 10 fillets 90gr El Capricho

El Capricho anchovies (Engraulis Encrasicolus) are exclusively fished in the Cantabrian Sea (Bay of Biscay, FAO 27). The complete elaboration process (including evisceration, maturing, filleting and canning in oil is carried out in Santoña (Cantabria). Its process of maturing is long and slow, lasting 12-18 months minimum. After curing, anchovies have eliminated all grease and obtained its intense aroma, uniform reddish colour, meaty texture and exceptional taste. The anchovies are wringed out before hand-filleting, which produce a low-salt fillet (7.3 grams of salt per 100 grams of anchovy). This process also extends its lifetime, getting a 12 months’ expiry date. In an age-old process, the filleting is carried out by quick-fingered women that manually deboned the fish and canned them. All El Capricho products are certified by the Quality Cantabria and the Cantabrian Anchovy seal which focuses on the origin, the fishing season, and the production process of the anchovy, three key aspects in high quality canned anchovy.
