Sicilian Anchovy Sauce: DOP food excellence, it is a flavorful and amber sauce typical of Cetara. Recently brought back to popularity, it is used to dress pasta and vegetables. Format: 100 ml. The Sicilian Anchovy Sauce is obtained from pressing the anchovies in salt. Garum is a taste elixir used as early as the 5th century BC by the Greeks, who preferred it to salt for flavoring food. Thanks to the Punic Wars, the Romans became aware of it and began to use it as a condiment for various dishes: the great Roman chef Apicius made extensive use of it in preparing all his banquets. The recipe for Garum, lost for about a hundred years during the Middle Ages, was rediscovered and adapted over the centuries, arriving to our days. The Sicilian Anchovy Sauce is a kind of transparent liquid sauce, with a yellow-amber and bright color, obtained by letting the anchovies mature in a solution of salt and water. More specifically, the Sicilian Anchovy Sauce can be defined as a kind of “precipitate” of anchovies, which, due to its strong and salty flavor, is used in drops to give more flavor to one's dishes. The anchovy sauce is not only particularly flavorful, but it is also rich in benefits for our body, as it contains nutrients such as minerals, amino acids, and vitamin A. The anchovy sauce is rich in sodium, coming from the brine made with sea salt, and due to osmotic effects, concentration gradients, and cellular breakdown, it is logical to deduce that a modest amount of potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, iodine, and other minerals is also present in the anchovy sauce.

Serve the spaghetti with anchovy sauce on a serving dish, with grated lemon zest, a few sprigs of fennel, and a sprinkle of pepper. With which dishes is Sicilian Anchovy Sauce used? Sicilian Anchovy Sauce is a decidedly versatile condiment in the kitchen, useful for preparing numerous dishes. In general, whatever dish you use it with, since it is a salty sauce with a particularly intense flavor, you should always avoid adding salt or other seasonings.
