Our anchovy sauce with fennel is produced by lightly sautéing onion in Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil. To this, the tomato sauce and the other ingredients are added, including the wild fennel and garlic, in a low pressure pan to preserve the organoleptic characteristics of all the raw materials. The sauce has a bright red color, with aromatic notes of tomato, anchovies, fennel and garlic. The flavor is sweet and slightly spicy.

For our Segreti di Sicilia anchovy sauce with fennel we choose Cantabrian anchovies because, in addition to being very tasty, they have more compact flesh that does not fall apart during cooking. Anchovies are rich in Omega3 (up to 11 grams per 100 of product). These fats play a very important role against the accumulation of cholesterol in the blood and therefore in the prevention of arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Wild fennel, an aromatic herb that grows spontaneously in many areas of Sicily, in addition to being very fragrant, has precious carminative (i.e., absorbs and eliminates gas from the intestine), antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and preservation techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.
