Roque Anchois Roquerones Persillade 1kg
Description
in 1870, the ROQUE Company is a family business, specialising in the traditional production of anchovy fillets preserved in oil or in brine.
Based in Collioure, the French anchovy capital, Roque anchovies caught in the warm Mediterranean waters are considered a delicacy.
Freshly caught, the anchovies are mixed with salt immediately. They are then gutted, the heads Created removed, and the fish layered in barrels, each layer being generously scattered with coarse salt. Weighed down with large stones, they then need a period of three months to develop their distinctive flavour and aroma.
The fish are carefully washed to remove the salt and are graded by size and layered into jars which are finally filled with oil or brine. Preserved in this traditional way they will keep for more than year.
Always served them cold or chilled (as Tapas), with an aperitif or on top of a summer salad
