Casa Santoña’s Cantabrian Anchovy 00 Special Selection represents the pinnacle of Spain’s anchovy tradition, offering an unparalleled combination of flavour, texture, and craftsmanship. Sourced from the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Cantabrian Sea, these anchovies are carefully selected for their size and quality before undergoing a meticulous curing process that enhances their deep umami character.
The “00” designation signifies the largest, most premium fillets, which are hand-cleaned and preserved using time-honoured techniques. Cured in sea salt for several months, the anchovies develop an intense yet balanced savouriness, with a smooth, almost buttery texture that sets them apart from standard varieties. Once cured, they are gently packed in high-quality olive oil, which enhances their depth of flavour while preserving their delicate consistency.
Casa Santoña’s Special Selection anchovies are a true gourmet ingredient, perfect for enjoying simply on toasted bread with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or paired with roasted red peppers, fresh tomatoes, or creamy burrata. Their umami-rich profile also makes them an exceptional addition to salads, pasta dishes, and even premium pizzas.
These anchovies are best enjoyed with a crisp Albariño, a chilled fino sherry, or a dry vermouth to complement their briny intensity. As a reflection of Casa Santoña’s commitment to quality and tradition, the Cantabrian Anchovy 00 Special Selection embodies the excellence of Spain’s seafood heritage. For conserva lovers and gourmet enthusiasts alike, these anchovies offer an unforgettable taste experience, balancing boldness and refinement in every bite.
