Today is March 15, World Sleep Day, and we're taking advantage of it, not only to remember the importance of sleeping well, but also to tell you an anecdote related to it and our vinegared anchovies.
As you know, this year at Pujadó Solano we are celebrating our 40th anniversary. It has been a long journey full of changes. We started in 1984 only producing and selling Cantabrian anchovies, and progressively we introduced other products from the Cantabrian Sea.
It was Milagros Solano, our founder, who always had the initiative to grow and produce more products. An example of this is our famous vinegared anchovies. When we decided to go for it, we spent months trying to come up with a recipe we liked, but we tried in vain. Until one night Milagros went to sleep and the next morning when she woke up she said: "I know how we have to do it for it to turn out well."
Milagros found the formula that we still use today to make our vinegared anchovies. The success of their characteristic flavor is thanks to her. It's curious, but often that's how we came up with new ideas or solutions to our problems; Milagros always "dreamed" it, and when she woke up she already knew what we had to do.
So, perhaps as a reflection, we could say that sleeping is essential for health, but also for coming up with brilliant ideas. You have to rest well to be able to shine well.
Happy Sleep Day to all!
