What You Should Know

You'd find this 2 oz tin or jar among canned seafood and pantry condiments, grabbed when building a charcuterie board, boosting a Caesar dressing, or finishing a pizza. The salty, umami-rich bite feels both nostalgic and indulgent — the soft, oily texture and very short ingredient list (anchovy fillets, olive oil, salt) point to traditional preservation rather than heavy industrial ultraprocessing.
