Anchovies in Sunflower Oil

The Cantabrian Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus) from the Cantabrian Sea is considered the highest quality anchovy. This exquisite anchovy lacks bones, has a reddish-brown color, and has a texture that is firm and fleshy. Remove from the refrigerator 2 hours prior to serving. Open the can 30 minutes prior to serving to faciliate oxygenation. When ready to serve, grab toothpicks if you're planning to serve them as an hors d'oeuvre, or use a fork to place them on top of your favorite dishes (caesar salad, pizza, pasta, etc.). Remember that the tin holds a year of painstaking work, five decades of love, and more than a century of canning tradition.
