What You Should Know

Cento Rolled Fillets Anchovies with Capers in Olive Oil is a small, 2-ounce semi‑preserved tin of intensely flavored Mediterranean pantry fare. You’ll typically find it in the canned fish or specialty imports aisle, shelved near other preserved seafood (anchovies, sardines, tuna), jars of olives and capers, and the olive oil and antipasti section — often alongside Italian and Mediterranean branded goods. This product suits shoppers building a flavorful pantry for weekend entertaining, quick weeknight dinners, or cocktail-hour hors d’oeuvres: think Caesar dressing from scratch, garlicky pasta puttanesca, pizza with a salty kick, or crostini topped with butter and capers. Cento positions itself as a traditional, value-conscious Mediterranean brand for home cooks and foodies who appreciate authentic ingredients; its marketing leans on Old World provenance rather than flashy lifestyle imagery and it appeals to adults looking for bold, utilitarian flavor rather than kid-friendly packaging. The label is straightforward — short ingredient list (anchovies, olive oil, capers, salt) gives a “natural” or artisanal halo, though there’s no organic certification or child-focused branding. In plain terms the fish are lightly processed and preserved in oil and salt (a shelf-stable, semi‑preserved product). Sensory notes: a briny, umami-forward aroma; firm, flaky fillets softened by olive oil; occasional pops of vinegary, floral caper tang; mouthfeel is oily and compact. Packaged in a small tin, it’s used in a ritual of careful portioning with a fork or knife — a little goes a long way on salads, sauces, pizzas, and charcuterie boards.
