About Olasagasti: Conservas Olasagasti likes to say they’re rooted in two seas: The Mediterranean and the Cantabrian.  Olasagasti founder Salvatore Orlando arrived in Spain via Sicily in the late 19th century and was part of a group of Italian pioneers who introduced ancient preserving techniques to the Cantabrian coast.  After more than 100 years, and four generations of the family at the helm of the company, Conservas Olasagasti continues to produce the highest quality tinned fish using artisanal, traditional methods.

How it tastes: Cantabrian anchovies are considered the best in the world!  These little fish are meaty and dense and packed with intense flavor.

How to use it:  If you’re new to the unique, umami-packed flavor of anchovies, try a classic Caesar salad recipe!  If you’re a ‘chovy expert, lay a few on a piece of good sourdough and spoon the oil over, letting the bread soak it up.  You should be able to taste the difference of a Cantabrian anchovy!
