Ortiz Anchovies in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Firm Buttery Fillets with a Rich Umami Taste, Wild Caught in Spain, Great for Pizza, Pasta and Caeser Salad, 3.3oz Glass Jar (Pack of 1)

Expensive but worth every penny! Amazing anchovies!

I love Anchovies, I eat them as is and don't just cook with them. I've tried all types and brands and these are by far best Anchovies you can get. The flavor is more mild, and less fishy. I happen to like the fishy flavor to be honest I like but these also have the perfect texture, not too mushy but not too firm or waxy like some others I have tried. The salt is also on point and are the least salty I have had. The only downside is the price, these as far as flavor and texture are the best but are also by far the most expensive. I have ordered these several times and unfortunately the last order one of the 3 jars had leaked and are not edible and at $14 a jar is disappointing to say the least especially because you can't return them or get a refund. That being said I will definitely order more of these. Side note, be careful where you buy these from. There are several types from this brand and they all look similar, these are the higher quality anchovies.

Some of the best anchovies I have ever had! I just wished that they came with a small fork to make it easier to remove them from the jar. They are absolutely delicious and the consistency and quality are always the same. I highly recommend..

I was really disappointed with this jar of Ortiz anchovies. For $16, I expected high-quality fillets, but what I received was a jar full of mush. The anchovies were completely broken down, and the jar was covered in oil when it arrived. The smell wasn’t right either — not like fresh olive oil, but more like old fryer grease. The lid didn’t make a popping sound when opened, and while I’m not sure if that’s standard for this jar type, the combination of the off smell, exterior oiliness, and mushy texture made me worry the seal had failed and the contents were spoiled.

These are just about the best anchovies you can get. I reserve them for salads or sandwiches or other dishes where they can really stand out. If you’re just wanting a hint of anchovy Unami or richness in a sauce or dressing, use something cheaper. These do not need to be refrigerated. After opening, just assure that the remaining filets are submerged in the oil before recapping and just keeping on the countertop. Don’t worry; if you like anchovies, these won’t be around very long. Oh, and when you’re done with the anchovies save the oil. Add a tablespoon of good vinegar, a bit of Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, a twist (or two) of black pepper, and maybe a small clove of garlic ground to a paste. Shake well and you get a bonus salad dressing. Note that, mercifully, these no longer come with the little fork. In conclusion, some of the world’s best anchovies and worth the price for great dishes.

I've been on a hunt for the best anchovies. I make KILLER GOOD CAESAR SALAD DRESSING as well as pizza. Both require anchovies. I bought Patagonia brand and they were more like sardines than anchovies. Fuller, plumper, but nearly tasteless. I bought Seasons brand and they were more like conventional canned sardines. Ok in a pinch, although a bit boney. But since they get mashed in Caesar dressing, they work. B|but But BUT NOW i have this jar of anchovies and they are almost PERFECT. Salty, firm, flat, and NO perceivable bones. A bit on the pricey end but in this case, I'll pay for this quality. Bon Apetit !

Works well with making Caesar salads.

Anchovies are anchovies. What separates these from the grocery store varieties is texture--soft, creamy, and buttery. The flavor profile is what you'd expect--salty (you could use briney given the context)--aggressive, and in your face. Use them as is, in small portions. I'm a simple person, and these worked for me: tortilla pizza--put them on after it's out of the oven and cooling; tapenade: on the surface of your choice, and add a few capers; bareback: saltines work with some fresh mozz, and if you happen to have them, cherry tomatoes and basil. I have no doubt that Cento, etc. would work for any of these preparations I've offered, these anchovies would make the tastings a moment.

Excellent product

Great anchovy fillets, but the price is more than double of the normal retail price!

love them - real olive oil - not the fake crap you normally get - just the right amount of salt :) putting in a second order

I don't know why this is not readily available in stores in Singapore.
