COLATURA DI ALICI

Colatura di Alici Acquapazza 50ml: handcrafted Colatura di Alici Cetara Acquapazza Gourmet Traditional Anchovy Extract is an amber color liquid that is obtained from the maturation of the salted anchovies, whose history is rooted in the deepest food traditions of Campania. It is a typical product of the town of Cetara, on the beautiful Amalfi Coast. The preparation follows an ancient and rigorous process: the anchovies are caught with the cianciola, an ancient boat specialized in blue fish fishing, only in the sea off the Amalfi Coast. The freshly-picked anchovies are cleaned by removing their heads and interiors, put them in salt for 24 hours and then transferred to chestnut or oak barrels, covered in salt. By the pressure of the weights that are put on the barrels emerges a liquid that becomes the Colatura di Alici. Ideal dressing for spaghetti and pasta in general (do not salt the pasta during cooking because the Colatura of anchovies is already very rich in salt), wonderful on boiled potatoes !
