Cantabrian Anchovies 000 — 16 Fillets, Maximum Caliber | SalazonArte
Cantabrian anchovies, size 000, the highest grade: 16 extra-large fillets, hand-cut. Limited edition artisan semi-preserved product. Buy online.
Semi-preserved: approximate best before date of 5 months from purchase, always kept refrigerated. The exact date is on the product label.
Caliber 000: the largest available. Above 00, this classification is reserved for exceptionally large fillets — a naturally limited production, as few specimens reach this caliber.
Cantabrian anchovies from the best catches, where the anchovy develops its maximum fat infiltration and flavor.
Artisanal preparation: traditional salting and maturation, hand-cleaned and deboned fillet by fillet.
Generous format of 16 fillets: to share... or not.
No additives: anchovy, oil, and salt — salting is the only preservative.
Safe for direct consumption: salt curing inactivates anisakids (according to AECOSAN).
Flavor: intense and deep but elegant, with the measured salinity of a well-executed long cure and a clean, persistent finish. In the 000, the greater thickness of the loin allows for a better appreciation of the nuances than in smaller sizes.
Texture: the great difference of this size — fleshy, silky and melting; a bite with presence that gently dissolves on the palate.
Aroma: marine, fresh and refined.

The absolute star: a 000-grade loin deserves to be served alone, on lightly toasted crystal bread, with grated tomato and its own oil. Nothing else.
A pairing to match: txakoli, albariño, champagne or a fino en rama. Also, a quality vermouth.
For the celebration table: the opening tapa that sets the tone for the meal — ideal for surprising guests who "have already tried everything".
In the kitchen, with respect: on a festive Russian salad, white asparagus or a low-temperature egg. At this caliber, better raw than cooked.
The house tip: temper it for 10–15 minutes outside the refrigerator before serving; that's when the loin fully develops its richness.
