Anchovy Essence “Colatura di Alici Riserva” 50 ml – Armatore

Colatura di Alici Riserva by Armatore is one of Italy’s most treasured gastronomic specialties, often described as the “liquid gold of Cetara”. This exceptional anchovy essence is produced on the Amalfi Coast using time-honoured methods passed down through generations.

Fresh spring anchovies, caught by Cetara fishing boats, are processed just hours after landing. They are carefully eviscerated and layered with sea salt inside chestnut barrels, where they mature slowly for 18 to 30 months. During this long ageing process, the anchovies naturally release a clear, amber-coloured liquid with extraordinary aromatic intensity.

The result is a pure, concentrated essence with deep umami richness, balanced salinity and elegant marine notes. Extremely versatile, Colatura di Alici is perfect for spaghetti, seafood dishes, vegetables, dressings, marinades and gourmet appetisers. A small quantity is enough to transform any recipe.

An authentic symbol of Mediterranean excellence and Italian culinary tradition.
