Anchovy Pieces in Sunflower Oil

A warm-water cousin of the herring, anchovies have been a treasured part of Mediterranean cuisine for centuries. These Sicilian-caught anchovies are quickly cleaned, lightly salted, chopped into small pieces, and packed in sunflower oil. Preserved in oil rather than packed heavily in salt, they offer a softer, less salty flavor while still delivering that deep, savory umami kick. Toss them into salads, scatter over pizza, or melt them into sauces and stews for an instant flavor boost.

Founded in 1973 by Benedetto Scalia in Sciacca Thermae, a historic fishing village on Sicily’s southwest coast, Scalia Benedetto honors generations of anchovy craftsmanship. By following traditional methods, they create anchovies with a rich, authentic flavor and tender texture that reflect their deep-rooted heritage.
