Cantabrian anchovies. New Fish & CO product with Bravoleum Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In Santoña was the beginning of the production of anchovies as we know them, however, although the discoverers of salting were, of the Romans, not.  

At the end of the last century, on 1883, when an Italian, Giovanni Vella Skatagliota, through simple processes, starting from the salted anchovies and covered with butter, managed to "invent" the anchovy fillets in oil.

Although the inventors of the salting were the Romans in all Cantabria, especially in Santoña and Castro urdiales It continues to be manufactured today following the ancestral processes. In Pez&Co We have tried to follow a faithful elaboration to the principles of salting, recreating the process of handling each anchovy, one by one by the hands of our expert women, using the same utensils used in the past: used fishing nets, Razors and drying rags.

In however we want to go a little further, and we try to combine in a can the best of the North Fish & Co with the best of the South, the Cantabrian anchovies with the best extra virgin olive oil in Jaén.  

We want to offer our consumers a unique mix in the market so far breaking market stereotypes:

• The canned oil must be vegetable or refined to maintain the flavor of the anchovy. 
• The EVOO is eaten with time the taste of anchovies. 
• Oil from canned cans and jars is not for consuming. 
• To dish the anchovies, remove the canned oil and pour evoo on top.

In Fish & Co we show that these "classic principles" of canneries do not conform to reality, and therefore we have chosen as a companion of our anchovies the best evoo of Jaen and one of the best in the world: BRAVOLEUM variety PICUAL. 

The result is simply spectacular:

• Powerful aftertaste in the mouth, characteristic of the EVOO. 
• Flavor of the anchovy slightly softened keeping the flavor of the sea better. 
• Taste less salty, ideal for low sodium diets.  
• The oil of the can obtains with the time an excellent flavor to anchovy, perfect to use in kitchen or dress other dishes. 
• Presence spectacular in plate, combining pink color of the anchovy with intense green of the EVOO picual.

They are presented in a can of 110gr, with 12 fillets of large size, perfectly placed horizontally and interlaced with each other in a wide can for direct consumption. Ideal amount for ration. 

The EVOO Bravoleum of variety picual potency and improves the taste of the anchovy while softening the salt content, offering the consumer two products of high quality in a single can.                                                            

The anchovies is the queen part of the appetizer on the bars across the country. Besides the traditional skewers, they can be prepared in very different ways. In canapés, in salads or as accompaniment of dishes, our anchovy is "the only one in high-end extra virgin olive oil".
