Like the anchovy fillet, the anchovy is caught between March and June. But the anchovies are macerated with vinegar so that they get that whitish color and can be tasted later in oil. These anchovy fillets do not come into contact with salt at any time, so their flavor differs greatly from that of an anchovy fillet.
It should be remembered that this is a semi-preserved product, and therefore it should always be kept between 1-4ºC. Breaking the cold chain can cause the anchovy to deteriorate, resulting in a loss of quality, texture and flavor, as well as a loss of shelf life.
