Sure these anchovies don’t have the fancy packaging of Ortiz.

Ed, would you do me a favour, and look on the tin and see who the importer is?
thanks

Grocer, I’ve chucked it out but i’ll get some more tomorrow and let you know.
Are these packed in salt? My partner has issues with oversalty anchovies so it is hard for me to sneak them into cooking…
i shall eagerly await…
Grocer, imported by olivera at olivera.com.au. i should add the tin is 30g as with Ortiz but seems to have many more fillets.
Hmmm, I kind of like the look of the packaging - the price tag on the other hand not so much.
Purely hypothetical question(s):
How easily could one acquire a couple of tins of these babies if they find themselves in a certain country of the mediterranean (hint: it rhymes with rain…or plain…) at some point in the future?
If you were to persuade someone to stuff their suitcase with these things and haul them back to terra australis would that be a remarkably irresponsible thing to do???? Just wondering.
Yes I too have purchased these most excellent quality anchies from Olivera and highly recommend for anchovy fiends. Much better quality than any I have found in Australian supermarkets.
I bought 2 of the small packets of Ortiz anchovies at the David Jones food hall in Sydney yesterday as well as two Wilkin & Sons 2lb Tiptree Christmas puddings from England.
They were approx $55 each and I bought them for my dad as he couldn’t get any in QLD. Apparently they’re the best Christmas puddings. Anyone else heard of these famed puddings?
thanks ed
