The company's commitment to study and research campaigns in the marine field. Futura Prima, the Family's ship, fishes oily fish from the Sicilian seas all year round: sardines, mackerel, horse mackerel, bogue around the Aeolian Islands, and anchovies, mainly between May and July, in the Ionian Sea. To obtain a good and healthy product, less than twenty-four hours pass between the catch and the start of the preservation process.

Pieces of Salted Anchovies in Sunflower Seed Oil 1450 g

A very short supply chain and circular work for the family, who take care of the preservation and processing of red tuna and oily fish in their facility in Capo Passero. This ensures a high standard of quality. Mare di Sicilia means alici: elongated, silvery fish with a blue back, known as anchovies. The family's second vessel, the Futura Prima, is dedicated between May and September to anchovy fishing in the Sicilian Channel and in the waters of Trapani and Capo Passero. For anchovies too, timing is essential: caught with a special net and processed between 3 and 12 hours. From Alici to Acciughe The anchovies arrive at the facility at +4 degrees and are immediately transferred to a holding chamber. They are promptly cleaned of head and innards and, within two hours, salted and placed in special containers: the âcugniâ; these are transferred to seventy-kilo drums, on which weights are placed: it is the pressure that draws out the blood and excess water. After maturing, they are removed from the salt and boned, and the jar is filled with cold-pressed seed oil. The delight is ready.
