In Lastres (Asturias, North of Spain), "Anchoas Hazas" elevates the centuries-old Cantabrian tradition of preserving anchovies to an art form. Each anchovy is hand-cleaned with precision tweezers, one by one, a process that requires far more time and care than typical production, ensuring every fillet is perfectly boned and ready to shine.

After careful selection, the anchovies are matured for 1–2 years — longer than the industry standard — allowing their flavor to develop a rich, delicate depth. This slow, meticulous curing produces a taste and texture that sets Hazas apart from any other brand.

The result is an artisanal range of premium Cantabrian anchovies, from classic fillets to marinated white anchovies, gildas, and anchovy-stuffed olives. Each product reflects not only the skill of Hazas’ dedicated team but also the heritage and passion of a small coastal community committed to excellence.

Every tin carries the story of craftsmanship, patience, and attention to detail, created by the skilled women of the village of Lastres who carry forward generations of artisanal knowledge. Their dedication not only produces a product worthy of the most discerning palates but also empowers the local community. Hazas’ anchovies are celebrated with international awards, including 3-star Great Taste recognitions and the Golden Fork for best import product worldwide.
