Reserve Anchovy Drippings 1.69 Fl Oz - Colatura di Alici

The anchovies caught during spring in the Amalfi Coast by the fishing boats of Cetara are processed a few hours after being caught. The anchovies are gutted and then layered inside a chestnut barrel, alternating with layers of sea salt. The maturation period ranges from 18 to 30 months.

Anchovy drippings are a unique condiment that can also be used in place of salt to enhance the flavor of fresh or boiled vegetables. Like an ancient ritual, every family procures a little to dress spaghetti or linguine, which are staples during Christmas Eve dinners.

Born and raised on the Amalfi Coast, in the ancient bay of Cetara, the sea is their home. It is with respect for the marine ecosystem that they are allocated annual quotas for bluefin tuna fishing by the EU, assigned to each boat.

Sustainability is a shared value of Armatore’s fleet, and they are proud to practice one of the most regulated fishing techniques in the world. They also firmly believe in the traceability of their catch. This is evidenced by the short supply chain of their anchovies, processed within hours of being caught, reducing the distance the food travels. Armatore’s products are the result of their deep devotion to the sea.
