Anchovies fishing take place during few months
of the year, it starts during the spring, in March, and end
in August. The best months are June and July when the anchovy
is in the better conditions for a good processing, because
of after the winter it has a lower lipidic contents.
They are used only anchovies fished in the Mediterranean.
The fish taken on the work benches is strewn with sea salt,
the only antiseptic and preservative treatment, and immediately
submitted to the head and entrails removal. These procedures
are executed manually by a careful staff specialized by years
of experience in this sector. The following stage is the pickling,
the fish is dipped in the saturated pinckle for eliminating
the blood and the fatty substances.
This stage is followed by the salting; after have been washed
with the clean saturated pinckle, the fish is placed in containers
and arranged in alternate layers of salt. Then we must wait
three or four months for the maturity. |

When the anchovies arrive to the right maturity degree, with
its rosed colour, its characteristic smell and its palatable
taste, than it is possible to proceed with the fish threading.
The desquamated anchovies are opened in half, cutting open
along the back-bone, in this way the anchovy is separated
in two filets.
The filets so obtained are prepared in glass vases and in
tins full of sunflower oil or olive-oil.
Then the containers are closed, washed, labelled and packed.
So our anchovies are ready to arrive on your tables with all
the genuineness with which have been produced.
