Boquerones are the same anchovy that Ortiz uses for its salted fillets, but prepared in a different way. The fillets are prepared by hand and marinated in white wine vinegar. When the marinade is right, they are packed in oil with garlic and parsley.

The result is a white, delicate fillet with the fresh acidity of the vinegar, very different from the deep, salty taste of cured anchovies. In Spain they are a classic tapa, eaten cold with a glass of beer or wine.

Anchovy (FISH), extra virgin olive oil, refined sunflower oil, white wine vinegar, salt, garlic, parsley.

The anchovies have been frozen beforehand to prevent anisakis, as Spanish law requires (RD 1420/2006). No additives or bleaching agents.
Serving: cold, straight from the tray.
Ideas: on bread or crisps with olives, or together with salted anchovies on one toast (a 'matrimonio').

Made in Spain by Conservas Ortiz, Ondarroa (Vizcaya). The company was founded in 1891 in Ondarroa by Bernardo Ortiz de Zárate, who began by making white tuna in escabeche; it has been run by five generations of the Ortiz family. Sold in the Netherlands by PuraSangre V.O.F., Lelystad.

What is the difference between boquerones and anchovies in oil?

Both are the same fish. Salted anchovies are matured in salt for months, which makes them brown and intense. Boquerones are marinated in vinegar, so they stay white, mild and slightly tangy.

Do they need to be refrigerated?

Yes, always. Keep them at 0–4 °C, also before opening, and eat within 3 days after opening.

Are they packed in olive oil?

They are packed in a mix of virgin olive oil and sunflower oil, with garlic and parsley.
