ELABORATION

The traditional process of making Santoña Sea anchovies consists of 5 steps:
1. Purchase of Cantabrian anchovy at the Santoña fish market. Once in the factory, the fish is salted and put in brine.
2. The next day, the heads and guts are removed.
3. Start of the maturation process.
4. Elaboration process. The anchovies are individually skinned.
5. Cleaning and packaging.

HISTORY

In the 19th century, Sicilians arrived in Santoña in search of food. They introduced the "Salting" technique to process the anchovy (as it is known in its origin). The main advancement was the filleting of the anchovy, which after being cut and cleaned by hand, is preserved in cans with fat for several months. This step was crucial to eventually transition to preservation in olive oil as we do in Santoña Sea.
