Anchovy fillets in Evosì oil Format: 200 g The Mediterranean Sea has been since ancient times the crossroads of food traditions that have been passed down through the millennia, and its salted anchovies have been used since ancient Romans as a super seasoning in their cuisine. The Mediterranean anchovies are low in saturated fats and particularly rich in omega 3 and vitamin D, they are an excellent source of noble proteins and have a high supply of calcium and minerals, fully entering the list of foods in the typical Mediterranean diet. The anchovy is the humblest fish of our seas which, entrusted to the skillful hands of our salting masters, transforms into a true celebration of flavor and refinement. Anchovy Fillets in Evosì Oil: How They Are Made The story of our Anchovy fillets begins in the Mediterranean Sea. Between Sciacca and Africa lies the Sicilian Channel, where, between the end of April and mid-May, the raw material is fished. The choice of place and fishing period is not casual, because they allow finding the best anchovies in these waters, in order to obtain an extremely high-quality finished product. Our anchovies are processed exclusively on-site. The stages of brining, aging, and cutting of the belly and tail are followed by the more delicate filleting stage where, manually, the anchovy is separated along the backbone, thus obtaining two meaty fillets. A final cleaning to eliminate small bones and skin residues, before proceeding to manual packaging and the addition of evo oil. The artisanal process to obtain each package of our Anchovy fillets is long and meticulous, but each phase is essential to achieve a product with an intense, unique, slightly salty flavor and a firm, soft, and meaty texture. Thanks to their particularly special characteristics, our anchovy fillets in Evosì oil are perfect for the preparation of sauces, pasta sauces, finger food, and other appetizers, as well as for enhancing a wide variety of first courses. Perfect also on pizza, to be enjoyed alone or on a slice of bread, or in combination with other ingredients in various preparations, they can be enjoyed on bruschetta or added to a salad. Recipe: Spaghetti with anchovies, pesto, and citrus zest. This first recipe is a celebration of flavors and will be able to conquer everyone thanks to its citrusy and fresh aroma. Let's see together how to prepare it. While you bring to a boil the water in which you will cook spaghetti, blend together some mint and basil leaves, 3 orange wedges, 2 tablespoons of delicate pesto, 4 maresì anchovy fillets, a handful of pistachios, 3 teaspoons of capers, and 2 teaspoons of our Evosì oil. Drain the pasta a few minutes before the time, so as to finish cooking it inside the pan where you will have already melted an anchovy fillet in the oil. Finish by adding the citrus pesto and turn off the heat. Now you can serve the hot spaghetti with citrus zest to enhance the aroma. For a touch of color, add a few fresh cherry tomatoes during cooking! Purchase our anchovy fillets in Evosì oil with a click directly to your home on www.emporiosicilia.it!
