Olasagasti – Tradition from the Basque Coast From the rugged shores of Getaria in Spain’s Basque Country, Olasagasti has been crafting fine conservas for over a century. With roots in Sicilian fishing heritage and deep Basque traditions, they specialise in tuna and anchovies caught in the pristine waters of the Cantabrian Sea. Each tin reflects their philosophy of respecting the sea, the seasons, and the time-honoured methods that give their products exceptional quality and flavour.
 
The Olasagasti Anchovies are hand-packed in premium olive oil to ensure maximum flavour and freshness. They have a firm texture and a rich, savoury taste that is characteristic of the finest anchovies. Olasagasti uses only the highest quality anchovies, which are caught in the Bay of Biscay during peak season, ensuring that they are plump and flavourful.
 
 
These are the anchovies that make devotees out of sceptics – plump fillets, hand-packed in olive oil, with a perfect balance of umami depth and gentle saltiness. A benchmark for the style.
 
Serving Suggestion: Lay across warm, buttered sourdough, or melt into pasta sauce for a burst of complexity.
Wine Match:
International: Cava – its bubbles and minerality lift the anchovies’ richness.
Australian: Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay – textural and fresh with a hint of oak to complement the umami.
