Anchovies in olive oil
The Cantabrian anchovy is a small fish that can live for about three or four years and reach a size close to 20 cm, with a silver belly and a grayish-blue back.
At Vima Foods we only use the highest quality anchovies, Engraulis encrasicolus, caught in the Biscayne Bay with traditional fishing gear and at the sardines optimum moment during the Spring season, when they rise to the surface and their fat increases to its highest point, as does its deep and intense flavor. Cantabrian anchovies are therefore considered one of the best anchovies on the market.
Vima Selection anchovies in olive oil are made by salting. After reaching their optimum level of maturation, they are filleted and cleaned one by one and carefully packed by hand in specially selected olive oil.
Anchovies are semi-preserved and mature over time, so it is important to store the cans at a temperature between 5 and 12ºC.
