Scalia anchovies are premium, artisan-cured fish produced by Benedetto Scalia in the historic fishing town of Sciacca, Sicily, since 1973. [1, 2]
Key Details
Tradition: Local fishers catch the anchovies off the coast of Sicily, and local craftswomen clean and process them by hand.
Preparation: The fish are aged for at least 12 weeks.
Packaging: They are typically packed in high-quality extra virgin olive oil or preserved raw in sea salt barrels for an intense umami flavor. Scalia also offers marinated white anchovies (boquerones).
