Processing
It is obtained by pouring anchovies previously placed in brine; harvested drop by drop and filtered several times to obtain a fragrant liquid, amber in color and rich in the scents of the sea.
Colatura di Alici is a refined and appetizing condiment that dates back to the ancient Romans who called it "Garum".
