A Basque classic, Donostiarra anchovies are marinated in a delicate blend of oil, vinegar, garlic, and parsley, creating a bright, tangy and savoury bite. This style is fresh and zesty, perfect for those who enjoy anchovies beyond the salt-curing tradition.
Serving Suggestion: Serve chilled with crusty bread and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, or pair with roasted peppers and olives for a vibrant pintxo board.
Wine Match:
International: Albariño – crisp and citrusy to match the marinade’s brightness.
Australian: Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc – fresh and lively to balance the tang.
 
Ingredients: Anchovies (53%) (Engraulis encrasicholus), olive oil (45%), a clove of garlic, cayenne pepper, wine vinegar, salt.
