Oleificio Chianti Olio di Oliva - This is a blended oil whose deep green color and medium viscosity reflects its 30% extra virgin content. Its fresh and gentle olive character makes it an ideal dual use oil- sauteeing and uncooked in vinaigrettes and mayonnaise.
A few years back, we got a message from Alice Waters of Chez Panisse. She was traveling in Catalonia, Spaine and had stumbled upon this fine anchovy producer in the Costa Brava area. The rest is history and we can't bring them in fast enough.
Anchovies are anchovies, some will say, and to a certain extent, they would be correct. There are almost no fish left in the Mediterranean Sea, so apart from a small local run, the local producers by their fish from Cantabrian waters in northern Spain. The Costa Brava producers are the masters of salting and de-salting the fish and this is what makes Callol I Serrats unique. Small batches cured with the highest quality fish purchased from trusted sources during the best anchovy runs makes all the difference.
