Ortiz anchovies are only fished from Mediterranean waters, under strictly controlled regulations. They are fished using a purse seine net, which prevents damage from an overly weighty haul and also allows regeneration of the fish stocks. Ortiz select only top grade anchovies, defined by size, which are prepared to the highest standards, spending at least 6 months curing in rock salt. They are large and meaty and are trimmed and filleted by hand with knives not scissors, which although time consuming, avoids any hairiness. They are then laid into the tins by hand to ensure no breakage.
Excellent in a Caesar salad; do not cook (i.e. pizza) as this will dry the fish and it will lose its texture and become very salty. Serve with piquillo peppers drizzled in olive oil and dressed with finely sliced garlic and parsley. Serve with boquerones to make a matrimonio.
