On the other hand, after this period the anchovy produces more fat, preparing for the cold of winter, which hinders the salting process, making salt maturation difficult. As a result, it is not cured in the same way and does not obtain the same particular and exquisite flavour of the coastal anchovy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can imagine, this is a busy time of year at the factory, where not only are the freshly caught anchovies handled, either to make&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.pujadosolano.com\/en\/products\/cantabrian-anchovies\">salted anchovies<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>anchovies in vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;, but the Cantabrian anchovies, already prepared from the previous year&#8217;s fishing season, are also prepared and canned, after their time of maturation in salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At Pujad\u00f3 Solano we only work with anchovies from the Cantabrian coast to provide\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.pujadosolano.com\/categoria-producto\/anchoas-de-santona\">Santo\u00f1a anchovies<\/a>\u00a0of maximum flavour and quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the arrival of spring and good weather comes&nbsp;the &#8220;season&#8221; of the anchovy&nbsp;, known as the time when the anchovy approaches the Cantabrian coast to spawn.
