Cantabrian Anchovy Fillets in Olive Oil, Agromar
The excellence of Cantabrian anchovies, traditionally hand-crafted
Agromar Cantabrian Anchovies are one of the great treasures of Spanish gourmet cuisine. Made in Gijón (Asturias), beside the Cantabrian Sea and just a short distance from the fish market, these anchovies stand out for their exceptional quality, hand selection, and artisanal production following the preserving tradition of northern Spain.
Each fillet comes exclusively from Cantabrian anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), caught during the fishing season and carefully processed to preserve all its texture, aroma, and flavor. The result is a fine, meaty, well-balanced anchovy, preserved in olive oil to enhance its intensity and smoothness on the palate.
What does “Double Zero 00” mean?
The “00” category identifies a premium selection of top-quality anchovies, chosen for their uniform size, firm texture, and impeccable cleaning. These are gourmet anchovies designed for those seeking a superior gastronomic experience.
