Ever wondered how Ortiz products get from sea to tin? 🐟
Every bonito del norte is pole and line caught, one by one, during the summer fishing season 🎣
The catch arrives at the port early in the morning and goes straight to the auction.
Once at the factory, the tuna is cooked whole the same day for 6-8 hours, then cut by hand into the pieces that go into the jars.
All their products, tuna, sardines, anchovies, are packed by hand into their iconic tins 🙌
Anchovies need to be cured first. They’re layered with sea salt and weighted down with stones in these barrels, so they mature slowly and develop flavour.
Here they’ll stay for 6 to 12 months, depending on size.
Once cured, each anchovy is carefully filleted by hand for a rich, plump fillet 😋
Ready for their olive oil bath.
