Conservas Ortiz - The Heritage of Hand-Crafted Fish
Conservas Ortiz has been working with Brindisa for over 30 years. Based in northern Spain, in both Cantabria and the Basque Country, the company sources and processes seafood from the Bay of Biscay. Their commitment to sustainability and careful sourcing has earned them a devoted following among chefs and food lovers alike.

Traditional Techniques
Ortiz has always valued craftsmanship. Their anchovies are cleaned, filleted and packed by hand; a delicate, time-consuming process carried out by skilled workers, many of whom have been with the company for decades.
The fish are matured slowly in barrels under sea salt before being hand-packed in olive oil. This maturation gives the anchovies their signature deep flavour and silken texture.
Responsible Sourcing
Much of Ortiz’s bonito and anchovy is caught locally using traditional methods, such as rod and line fishing. This reduces bycatch and helps preserve marine biodiversity.
These are not mass-market tins. This is considered, sustainable fishing — respecting the rhythms of the sea, the seasons, and the fish themselves.
In the Kitchen
Ortiz’s tinned fish is a staple of the Spanish pantry — a celebration of quality, craft and patience. Their products are used in top restaurants and home kitchens alike. Their anchovies are a benchmark for quality — firm, meaty and savoury, with none of the harsh saltiness found in lower-grade tins.
Try them simply on toast with butter, laid across a tomato salad, or served with a cold beer and nothing else. Their bonito tuna is equally versatile: folded through a salad, stirred into pasta or tucked inside a bocadillo.
