What do they say about our anchovies in Fuera de Serie?

Patrick de la Cueva is quite a character. After 22 years dedicated to the world of saffron and spices, at the end of 2019 he decides to change his life and devote himself to his passion: searching for gastronomic treasures.

He founded De la Cueva Fine Food, set up a small warehouse and an office in the garage of his house, in the Sylicon Valley style, and launched himself into artisan and exquisite producers. She proudly speaks of the third place she obtained in 2022 at the '+50 Emprende Awards' and of having managed to position her products in the gourmet section of the famous Swiss department store Globus.

Among his references stand out his Cantabrian anchovies-Spring Fishing, from Santoña; the summer sardines from the Ría de Arosa; and the boneless quails in onion sauce.

A bit of context of the article in Expansión.com

It is difficult to explore a home without finding a can, an easy and convenient solution for consumption that reaches levels of excellence.

If we venture into the kitchen, we will surely find small cabinets or shelves full of preserves.

From mussels to asparagus, cockles to tuna, there are countless products that can be canned to stand the test of time.

These preserves can fix an impromptu appetizer, are used in more elaborate recipes, and are even honored by award-winning chefs. It is logical. Some of these preserves, whether in glass or metal containers, hide authentic delights inside.

This is due, in part, to advances in preservation techniques, which allow virtually any food to be canned without compromising health safety; and on the other hand, to the growing tendency to look for high quality, more natural, local and handmade products.

It is interesting to note that Spanish canned fish and shellfish represent 50% of European production, while canned vegetables account for 7% of the production of the national food industry.

With the increase in the number of fans of these preserves (there are real "hooligans" in search of the most spectacular ones), here are the 22 best preserves that you must try.
