The sea.
Hands. Time.
Anchovy production in Sciacca.
It all starts
with the catch.
For Fior d’Acciuga we select anchovies caught between May and June, when the flesh is especially tasty and tender.
Sorting by size and condition comes before processing. Each stage prepares the next, from the first step to packaging in Sciacca.

Explore the stages, from catch to packaging.
At night, at sea
The boats return to Sciacca harbour with the night’s catch. Our work is born from this bond with the sea.
Caring for the catch
We sort the anchovies by size and discard any that are not intact. Selection prepares the catch for processing.
Craft and salt
Cleaning by hand comes first, then sea salt is laid down, layer after layer.
The time it takes
The anchovies rest under salt until they are fully matured. Time is part of the work.
From production to the table
Filleting, packing in oil and closing the batch complete the journey of our fillets. Formats vary by line.
Salt preserves.
Time transforms.
Salting is a craft. Maturing is patience. The anchovies rest under salt until fully matured, before processing continues.
The same anchovy.
Different forms.
Salted anchovies keep our link with traditional methods. With fillets in oil, we bring this work to new formats.
The catalogue also includes marinated anchovies, anchovy paste and colatura. Each line’s product sheets let you compare packs and weights.
