Review: Great anchovies! - Great anchovies! The taste is very supple and the quality of the product is always the same. I highly recommend!
Review: Best Anchovies you can get - I love Anchovies, I eat them as is and don't just cook with them. I've tried all types and brands and these are by far best Anchovies you can get. The flavor is more mild, and less fishy. I happen to like the fishy flavor to be honest I like but these also have the perfect texture, not too mushy but not too firm or waxy like some others I have tried. The salt is also on point and are the least salty I have had. The only downside is the price, these as far as flavor and texture are the best but are also by far the most expensive. I have ordered these several times and unfortunately the last order one of the 3 jars had leaked and are not edible and at $14 a jar is disappointing to say the least especially because you can't return them or get a refund. That being said I will definitely order more of these. Side note, be careful where you buy these from. There are several types from this brand and they all look similar, these are the higher quality anchovies.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: farmed or wild caught?**
A: Wild caught during the Cantabric coastal fishing season, using traditional and sustainable methods.

**Q: What type of oil are these anchovies packed in?**
A: The anchovies are packed in virgin olive oil. Ortiz anchovies themselves are far less salty than those packed in tins. We love 'em.

**Q: Is it one jar?**
A: I see where it is confusing on the website.  Because it is unavailable at this time there is no price.  I bought 24 jars for $72 and shipping was around 8 bucks.

You get a small "pitchfork" with it too.  The anchovies are excellent.

**Q: Any feedback on the bones?  I wanted to know if they have any bones, and if so, how many?**
A: No, unlike the grocery store variety they are true fillets.  As with any processing there may be an occasional few missed.  I only tried two jars and both did not contain any bones.  The flavor was OK, but I personally did not like the taste of the brand of olive oil they came in.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Luxurious
*by B***R on January 24, 2026*

Anchovies are anchovies. What separates these from the grocery store varieties is texture--soft, creamy, and buttery. The flavor profile is what you'd expect--salty (you could use briney given the context)--aggressive, and in your face. Use them as is, in small portions. I'm a simple person, and these worked for me: tortilla pizza--put them on after it's out of the oven and cooling; tapenade: on the surface of your choice, and add a few capers; bareback: saltines work with some fresh mozz, and if you happen to have them, cherry tomatoes and basil. I have no doubt that Cento, etc. would work for any of these preparations I've offered, these anchovies would make the tastings a moment.
