Armatore Anchovy Fillets from Cetara are premium Italian anchovies produced in Cetara on the Amalfi Coast, one of the most famous anchovy fishing villages in Italy. Cetara has been known for anchovy fishing and preservation for centuries and is especially famous for Colatura di Alici, a traditional anchovy sauce dating back to Roman times.
Armatore is a family-run company based in Cetara that specializes in traditional anchovy products made using the historic salting and preservation methods of the Amalfi Coast. Their anchovies are caught in the Mediterranean, salted, aged, hand-filleted, and then preserved in olive oil, resulting in anchovies with a delicate texture, balanced saltiness, and deep umami flavor.
