Doña Tomasa's "Anchoas de Costera Doña Tomasa" are a high-quality product sourced from the pristine waters of the Cantabrian Sea. These anchovies are harvested during the optimal fishing season in spring, specifically April and May, ensuring their unmatched freshness and flavor.
The anchovies are meticulously prepared by hand in Santoña, a town renowned for its rich fishing heritage. This traditional artisanal process involves carefully cleaning and filleting the fish to preserve their delicate texture and taste. The use of sunflower oil as a preservative allows the natural flavor of the anchovies to shine through while maintaining a lower salt content compared to other preservation methods.
