What You Should Know

You’ll spot these flat anchovies in the canned fish or international aisle, or pulled out of the pantry when building a charcuterie board or a bold Caesar dressing. They give a salty, nostalgic Mediterranean vibe — preserved simply in olive oil and salt, so expect an oily, tender texture from basic canning and preservation rather than heavy ultra-processed ingredients.
