Caught in the cold, fat-rich waters of the Bay of Biscay during the short April-to-June spring season, the anchovies are salt-cured for a minimum of eight months in traditional barrels in Santoña, then hand-filleted one fish at a time by the local sobadoras. The result is ten to twelve firm, mahogany fillets per tin, packed in Masia el Altet single-estate extra virgin olive oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are anchovies you eat on their own, not anchovies you cook with. Lay two or three fillets across cold unsalted butter and good sourdough for the best 'on-toast' you'll have all year. Serve them straight from the tin with guindilla peppers, manzanilla olives and a glass of chilled txakoli for a proper Basque pintxo spread - and you'll understand why serious anchovy lovers treat Don Bocarte as the gold standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecipes to try using this ingredient:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nCantabrian Anchovies with Red Peppers, Garlic and Extra Virgin Olive Oil\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy we love it:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidered by chefs and food writers as the finest Cantabrian anchovies in the world - a quiet reputation that outranks even more famous names\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaught only during the short April-June spring season in the Bay of Biscay, when the bocarte are at their fattest and most flavourful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt-cured for at least eight months in traditional barrels in Santoña, then hand-filleted one fish at a time by the local sobadoras\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the simplest and best preparation: spread a thick layer of cold unsalted butter onto toasted sourdough, lay 2 or 3 fillets across the top, and finish with a teaspoon of the oil from the tin.
