Santoña anchovies are famous for their exceptional quality and unrivalled flavour. Produced from the best anchovies in the Bay of Biscay, they are made following traditional salting and curing methods that have been perfected over generations. The result is a soft, meaty and slightly salty anchovy, with a touch of smokiness that makes it irresistible to any palate.

In addition to their exquisite taste, Santoña anchovies are also an excellent source of essential nutrients. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. They are also a good source of high-quality protein, as well as vitamins B and D, and minerals such as calcium, iron and potassium. These little marine delicacies are not only tasty, but also nutritious.
