Hand-packed anchovies from the pristine waters off Cantabria are incredibly silky and meaty. They are delicious on salads or served on a toast with a slice of Manchego cheese. They are a world apart from dry grocery store anchovies.

Ortiz anchovies are caught fresh, salted, then washed in clear water and individually placed in a jar by hand and topped with extra virgin olive oil. The result is a tender, meaty anchovy that will be the star of your next tapas tasting.

In Spain, anchovies are often served as gildas - skewered on a toothpick with guindilla peppers and olives. This Basque classic is now famous across the country.
