A very special visit to one of our favourite anchovy conservas suppliers ๐
Nardin Conservas is a fourth-generation, family-owned artisanal cannery based in the fishing port of Zumaia, in Spainโs Basque Country ๐ช๐ธ
Every anchovy is hand-filleted the very same day it arrives from the local port just 6km away โ then carefully packed one by one with incredible precision and careโค๏ธ
Itโs a craft thatโs slowly disappearing, with Nardin among the few remaining canneries still following traditional methods passed down for more than 100 years.
In a world of mass-produced food, this level of craftsmanship is something truly special.
Head in-store to try our selection of Nardin anchovies โ our personal favourite are the wood-smoked.
Thanks Alberto for showing us around, and for the ๐ธ๐ฅโค๏ธ
