Here come anchovies in a classic Basque version, as "Anchoas a la Donostiarra" (Donostia is the name of the Basque city known in Spain as San Sebastián). In this traditional and distinctive recipe, European anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus) from the Bay of Biscay are fried in olive oil and seasoned with a little cayenne pepper and garlic - in the form of a clove of garlic and a chili pepper in each can. A little wine vinegar and salt round off the seasoning. In this preparation, the anchovies taste particularly good as a starter or snack with bread, crispy ciabatta, on crostini and bruschetta and as tapas. You can also use the spicy olive oil to enhance the taste of a pasta dish.

Those who love authentic, unadulterated seafood delicacies will find what they are looking for at Olasagasti in the Spanish Basque Country. Located just a stone's throw from the coast of the Bay of Biscay, the company is deeply rooted in the rich Basque fishing tradition - even though it was a Sicilian, Salvatore Orlando, who founded the company at the end of the 19th century. Olasagasti has been preserving fish for generations, with the fish still being processed freshly caught (and not frozen) on site. Each fillet, from the tender Bonito del Norte to the intensely flavorful anchovy, is refined by hand, with the ingredients rigorously limited to the bare essentials. In this way, the authentic taste with its fresh, maritime nuances is preserved in the best possible way - a difference that you will taste. At the same time, Olasagasti demonstrates its deep respect for the product and its origin with this pleasure-oriented approach.
