This is anchovy distilled to its essence. El Capricho’s Salmuria is produced in Santoña using the natural curing juices released during the anchovy maturation process, resulting in an extract that delivers pure salinity, depth, and umami without distraction. Nothing is added to soften or mask the flavour. What you taste is precision and patience.
Powerful yet remarkably clean, Salmuria is not designed to be poured, but measured. A few drops are enough to transform a dish, bringing balance and savoury length rather than overt fishiness. Think of it as seasoning in liquid form.
It sharpens vinaigrettes, elevates tomato sauces, and adds complexity to pasta, risottos, and slow-cooked dishes. It works beautifully with steak tartare, roasted vegetables, mushrooms, and legumes, and is exceptional when folded into butter, mayonnaise, or aioli. A small amount can also lift seafood broths or give depth to sauces served with grilled meats or fish.
Salmuria rewards restraint and intention. Used properly, it disappears into a dish while leaving everything tasting more complete. A quiet but serious tool for cooks who understand that the smallest details often make the biggest difference.
