Discover the artisan tradition of Codesa in Laredo

If you are looking for the ultimate expression of Cantabrian anchovies, choosing Codesa means choosing history and canning excellence. From its privileged location in the fishing town of Laredo, this family business has perfected the art of salting for generations. Their secret is absolute respect for time: they use the spring catch (costera) and let the fish mature in salt for a full year in the cellar.

The difference is noticeable on the palate at once. When you taste Codesa anchovies, you find them perfectly clean, with no bones or skin, the result of meticulous traditional hand-cleaning ("sobado"). Their anchovy fillets, bathed in premium olive oil, offer a meaty texture, an even reddish colour and a balanced saltiness. It is, without doubt, one of the most award-winning gastronomic experiences you can bring to your table.
