Yurrita’s Cantábrico “00” anchovies sit at the very top of Spain’s anchovy tradition. Harvested in the cold, pristine waters of the Cantabrian Sea during the peak spring season, only the most exceptional fish receive the coveted “00” grade. These are the largest, firmest and most flavourful anchovies of the catch, selected by hand and filleted by artisans who continue a craft that began with Yurrita in 1867, the oldest active cannery in the Basque Country.

The fillets are cured slowly in sea salt using time-honoured methods that allow the anchovy to develop a refined savouriness and a uniquely silky texture. Once perfectly matured, they are arranged with precision and covered in high-quality extra virgin olive oil. The oil enhances the natural richness of the fish while keeping each fillet supple and delicate. The result is an anchovy with remarkable balance, gentle salinity and a clean, elegant finish that lingers beautifully on the palate.

These “00” anchovies are a true luxury ingredient. They elevate simple dishes, shine in tapas and prove why Cantabrian anchovies remain the benchmark for quality throughout Spain.

Serving suggestion
Serve these anchovies the way they are enjoyed across northern Spain. Place each fillet over a thin slice of crusty bread and add a touch of butter or a smear of roasted red pepper. Finish with a drizzle of the extra virgin olive oil from the tray and a twist of black pepper. Pair them with crisp white wine or a chilled vermut for a perfect tapas moment.
