This delicious and simple traditional Italian product from Cetara on the Amalfi Coast is little known outside of Southern Italy. It is made following an ancient Roman recipe (Colatura derives from Garum, the fish sauce used by the Romans) involving layering anchovies with salt in wooden barrels, placing a weight on top of them and waiting for the juice to filter down. This process takes around three months and results in this exquisite anchovy essence.
Our colatura di alici is an aromatic and fragrant amber liquid that is easy to digest, rich in vitamin A and enhances any dish. It can be seasoned with fresh herbs such as parsley, garlic, paprika and added to our extra virgin olive oil to create a wonderful sauce for spaghetti or linguine. It can even be used as a garnish instead of salt – just remember a little goes a long way!

If using with pasta to make Spaghetti with Colatura di Alici don’t salt the water before cooking. INGREDIENTS Anchovy extract and salt. STORAGE Long life product. Once opened, store in the fridge. |
