Cantabrian Anchovies Double Zero “00” in Olive Oil – Agromar
The excellence of Cantabrian anchovies, traditionally hand-crafted
Agromar Double Zero “00” Cantabrian Anchovies are one of the great treasures of Spanish gourmet gastronomy. Made in Gijón (Asturias), beside the Cantabrian Sea and just a few meters from the fish market, these anchovies stand out for their exceptional quality, hand selection, and artisanal preparation following the preserving tradition of northern Spain.
Each fillet comes exclusively from Cantabrian bocarte anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), caught during the fishing season and carefully prepared to preserve all its texture, aroma, and flavor. The result is a fine, meaty, and well-balanced anchovy, preserved in olive oil to enhance its intensity and smoothness on the palate.
