What you get here in the tin are fillets of European anchovies(Engraulis encrasicolus) caught in the Bay of Biscay. The fish, which are approximately 15 centimetres long, are filleted individually by hand at Olasagasti, salted and marinated in olive oil. The fillets are perfectly firm to the bite, tender but not too soft, with a maritime taste and just the right amount of salt. They taste particularly good as a starter or snack with bread, crispy ciabatta, on crostini and bruschetta. They add a special spice to pasta dishes and go well with salads, especially tomato and bean salads. They are also extremely tasty on pizzas.

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.
