Frequently Asked Questions
Here we answer the most common questions about our products and services
🧊 How should I store anchovies and pickled anchovies (boquerones)?
Both anchovies and boquerones are semi-preserved products and, as such, require proper refrigeration. Always store them in the refrigerator, between 4°C and 8°C. The perfect spot? We recommend a place that's easy to reach; you'll appreciate it later...
📅 How long do anchovies and boquerones last once opened?
If kept refrigerated and fully covered in oil, they can remain in perfect condition for several weeks, practically until the indicated best-before date. Though, to be honest... we know they won't last that long.
Avoid leaving the product exposed to air. Use the same well-sealed container or an airtight one, and make sure the fillets are always submerged in oil.
🧊🐟 How long does tuna last once opened?
Once opened, straight to the fridge 🧊. It's best in a closed container and covered with its own oil so it doesn't lose flavor or appeal. Ideally, consume it within 3 to 5 days, though well-preserved, it can last up to a week. Of course, if you open it in front of someone, be prepared to share it 😋
🧂 What is the difference between a preserve and a semi-preserve?
Preserve: Sterilized at high temperature (tuna in oil) and can be stored outside the refrigerator until opened.
Semi-preserve: Not subjected to high temperatures. Therefore, it requires refrigeration at all times, even before opening (Anchovies and Boquerones).
🐟 Do anchovies have bones?
No. All fillets are cleaned manually and with great care. It's an artisanal process that guarantees a fine texture and the cleanest possible anchovies, so you only have to worry about one thing: enjoying them.
🌱 Do they contain additives or preservatives?
No. Our products contain only:
Cantabrian fish
Sea salt, vinegar, or olive oil
If something is truly good, it doesn't need makeup.
🌊 Where does the fish come from?
All fish comes from the Cantabrian Sea, caught in season and handcrafted in our factory in Santoña (Cantabria).
Furthermore, our anchovies have the MSC label, which certifies sustainable and responsible fishing. In other words: good for you and good for the sea 💙
⭐ What is the "Selección Extra" range?
It's our most exclusive line. We hand-select the largest, cleanest, and most perfect fillets, presented with an impeccable finish. Ideal for surprising someone... or for treating yourself to a splurge 🥂
🐟 Does tuna need to be refrigerated?
As long as the container is sealed, it does not need refrigeration. It's ready to last in your pantry like a champion. However, once opened: directly to the fridge, and it's best to cover it with its oil so it doesn't lose any flavor. And if you're one of those who finishes it in one sitting, don't even worry 🤭
📦❄️ Do you ship refrigerated?
Of course! Especially for delicate products or when the weather is hot. We use refrigerated shipping that keeps everything fresh and tasty until it reaches your home.
🗓️ Do the products have an expiration date or a best-before date?
Our products have a best-before date, which guarantees their quality until that date. Although they may still be safe afterward, we recommend consuming them before to enjoy their full flavor and texture.
🧂 For reference:
Anchovies and boquerones have a shelf life of 6 months, provided they are kept refrigerated.
Tuna, on the other hand, has a much longer shelf life: up to 5 years if the container has not been opened and is kept under suitable conditions.
