Armatore Cetara Anchovy Fillets in Olive Oil bring the traditional flavors of Italy's Amalfi Coast to the kitchen. Carefully prepared anchovy fillets are preserved in olive oil, offering a rich, savory flavor and tender texture. This generous 2.9 lb (1.3kg) format is especially convenient for restaurants, pizzerias, catering operations and kitchens that regularly use premium Italian anchovies.
A Specialty of Cetara
The fishing village of Cetara, located along the Amalfi Coast in Campania, has a long history of anchovy fishing and preservation. Known in Italian as alici, anchovies are central to the region's culinary traditions and are valued for their ability to add deep, savory flavor to simple ingredients.
Traditional Processing
Armatore catches anchovies seasonally along the Amalfi Coast and processes them shortly after fishing. The anchovies are traditionally matured under sea salt, then carefully cleaned and filleted before being preserved in olive oil. This patient process develops their distinctive flavor while making the fillets convenient to use in the kitchen.
How to Enjoy
Use these anchovy fillets to top pizza, bruschetta and crostini, or serve them alongside butter and crusty bread for a simple Italian appetizer. They are also excellent in pasta sauces, salads, roasted vegetables and Mediterranean dishes.
A Versatile Ingredient for Professional Kitchens
Anchovy fillets are especially useful for building savory depth in recipes. Gently dissolve a few fillets into warm olive oil with garlic to create a flavorful base for pasta, sautéed greens or tomato sauces. They can also be blended into Caesar salad dressing, compound butter, vinaigrettes and savory spreads.
Unlike salt-packed anchovies, these fillets have already been cleaned and preserved in oil, making them ready to use without the additional step of desalting.
