CONSERVAS EL CAPRICHO

El Capricho is a family business located in Santoña, a small town with a deep seafaring vocation, known, among other things, as the cradle of canned anchovies. Our company, with more than a quarter of a century of life, is committed to the production of high quality and excellent products.

We mainly produce Cantabrian Anchovy and Bonito del Norte, caught directly in the Cantabrian Sea (FAO 27), only in the coastal season, by inshore boats using environmentally friendly fishing gear.

Good things take time. In a world dominated by the immediate, we trust in what we consider the greatest of virtues: patience. Instead of fast food, we offer slow food. We let nature set the pace of maturation. We know that it is impossible to be wrong like this. This is how we get our final product to acquire the characteristic colour, intense smell, firm texture and exclusive flavor that our grandparents knew. The secret of our success is that we have no secret. There is only one way to guarantee that we meet our objective of quality and excellence: that the entire process is carried out in our facilities. It is here where we receive the catch of the day, where the raw material is treated with artisan care and where we put our production at the customer's service. The process we follow is so rigorous and specific, so difficult to teach, that seasonal personnel are never hired. And no work is ever outsourced. The anchovy that enters through our door leaves it only when we have turned it into the delicacy that it is destined to be.

Within our catalog you can also find: Salmuria, pure bottled anchovy essence, Alma Sturgeon canned with Virgin Olive Oil, Mediterranean bluefin tuna, tuna belly. All our references are made entirely by hand, with the utmost care and respect for the raw material and are magnificent in texture and flavor.
