Alici Salate is one of Nettuno's traditional specialties, produced from fresh anchovies caught in the Gulf of Salerno and preserved using the centuries-old salting methods of Cetara. Shortly after the catch, the anchovies are carefully cleaned and layered with sea salt, allowing them to mature naturally and develop their characteristic firm texture and deep, savory flavor. Made with only two ingredients - anchovies and sea salt - the product contains no preservatives or additives, highlighting the purity and quality of the raw material. The slow curing process enhances the anchovies' rich umami profile while maintaining their authentic Mediterranean character. Before serving, the anchovies are typically rinsed, filleted, and used in a variety of traditional Italian dishes, including pasta sauces, bruschetta, salads, pizzas, and vegetable preparations. Alici Salate exemplifies Nettuno's commitment to preserving the culinary heritage of Cetara through artisanal craftsmanship, careful selection of local fish, and time-honored production techniques.
