Distributed by Ristoris (Cremona) for the Italian and Swiss food service. The Cantabrian sea anchovy is the gold standard for chefs: firm flesh, intense umami, clean salt curing.

Cantabrian Origin and Processing

Cantabrian anchovies are caught in spring in the Atlantic waters between northern Spain (Santoña, Laredo, Castro Urdiales) and south-western France, where the cold current gives them an above-average fat content. Traditional processing involves curing in brine for 6-12 months in wooden barrels (salerón), followed by manual cleaning, deboning and filleting before packing in oil. It is the benchmark product recognised by Michelin-starred chefs such as Ferran Adrià, Juan Mari Arzak, Mauro Uliassi and Heinz Beck.
