Olasagasti - Anchovy Paste

£5.95

Anchovies from the Bay of Biscay, cured with salt and whipped into paste for discerning cooks.

Handcrafted in the Basque Country from anchovies caught during the crucial spring migration when they reach peak condition before the season ends in June. This is when Cantabrian anchovies are at their absolute best - heading to coastal waters to spawn.

These anchovies spend months in salt barrels, then get hand-filleted by skilled workers. Each fillet gets individual attention, with every small bone removed, before being mixed into paste for easy kitchen use.

Cantabrian anchovies are the benchmark worldwide, your recipes deserve no less.

Ingredients: Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus) (fish), salt.

Net Weight : 60g

About Olasagasti

Olasagasti brings together Italian preservation know-how with the bounty of the Cantabrian Sea. From their Markina factory in Bizkaia, this century-old Basque brand crafts premium Spanish tinned seafood with a focus on quality.

Their conservas start with sustainable fishing—local arrantzales (Basque fishermen) catch wild Cantabrian anchovies at spring's peak and line-caught Bonito del Norte tuna when perfectly mature. These prized catches arrive at dawn from nearby ports, never frozen, keeping their character intact.

The heart of Olasagasti lies in their careful handling: anchovies immediately brined, aged for months, then hand-filleted. Their ventresca tuna belly preserves offer that lovely melt-in-mouth feel, while their San Sebastian-style anchovy fillets with garlic and cayenne show off regional flavours at their best.
