Elegant flavour of fish heightened by the sharpness of the vinegar escabeche. Ortiz bonito tuna (Thunnus alalunga) is a smallish tuna generally weighing less than 20kg. All of the fish that Ortiz buy is caught on rod and line in the Bay of Biscay and then processed by hand. Pale pinky white, low fat with a very delicate flavour, preserved in vinaigrette.

Delicate mild flavour. Soft texture. A regular feature in Spanish salads. Elegant with mayonnaise. Grown in the upper reaches of the fertile valley of the River Ebro in Navarra and manually harvested; the asparagus is hand trimmed and graded before being cooked and bottled or tinned.  The soft white spears are a familiar sight in almost any tapas bar in Spain, their mild flavour often complemented by mayonnaise. You can also serve them with piquillo peppers and a piquillo pepper paste.

Mild Ñora pepper, toasted almonds, roast tomatoes & garlic. Sauce for salads, vegetables & fish. A Catalan speciality, this is made using a combination of hazelnuts, almonds, sweet nora peppers and tomatoes. A rich, nutty sauce with a real depth of flavour. Serving suggestions: traditionally eaten with fish or grilled calçots, it is equally good with steamed vegetables, asparagus or roast chicken, xatonada salad (salt cod and frisee salad) or with grilled escalivada.

Potent sweetness. Crimson red. Flamed then hand peeled and packed. Great impact in any dish. Brought back to Spain from the Americas by returning conquistadores, these small red peppers are a very mild variety of chili. Grown and packed in Navarra, these piquillo peppers are roasted and then peeled by hand. The strips are a byproduct of the peeling and their flavour is intense, sweet and mildly piquant.

Intense umami flavour from 6 month barrel cure. Succulent texture. Rinse and fillet at home. Ortiz buy their Cantabrian anchovies daily from auctions along the north coast of Spain and process them the same day. They are put into salt for a period of 6-12 months depending on the size of the fish. When ready the whole fish are packed into tins and covered with salt, to be filleted at home. It's very easy, you just need to follow these steps: Soak the anchovies in cold water for 10 minutes and clean them under running water rubbing the salt off with your fingers. Open the anchovy from the top half of the fish while it is still under the tap. With the help of your thumb, separate the two anchovy fillets. Remove the bone and finish cleaning. Dry the anchovies lightly with a cloth, lay them in a container and cover them with your favourite olive oil. Check out our vlog post to learn Pilar's from Ortiz technique!

They are preserved in the same liquid they were cooked in, keeping all the flavour and characteristic reddish black colour. Use the aquafaba (liquid) for cooking and thickening sauces. They are creamy and melting which makes them perfect for use in stews with Morcilla or Chorizo, in salads or side dishes. An excellent product if you want to make real fast food.
