Filetes de Anchoa en Aceite de Oliva Virgen Extra are among Codesa’s flagship products, showcasing the company’s expertise in the traditional preparation of Cantabrian anchovies. Made from carefully selected Engraulis encrasicolus caught in the Cantabrian Sea, the anchovies undergo a lengthy curing process in salt before being hand-filleted and packed.

Each fillet is then preserved in extra virgin olive oil, which enhances the flavor while maintaining the fish’s delicate texture. The result is a product characterized by firm yet tender fillets, balanced salinity, and a rich umami profile.

The extra virgin olive oil contributes subtle fruity notes that complement the natural intensity of the anchovies without overpowering them. Produced using artisanal methods and meticulous manual processing, these anchovies are highly valued by chefs and gourmet food enthusiasts.

They can be enjoyed on their own, served with bread, incorporated into tapas, or used to elevate a variety of Mediterranean dishes. The product reflects the traditional anchovy-making heritage of Cantabria and Codesa’s commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and authenticity.
