Many store-bought anchovy pastes feel musty and too fishy, but IASA’s version is made with only three simple ingredients—anchovies, olive oil and salt—and truly honors the delightful savoriness of the popular Italian ingredient with its fresh flavor. After being caught off of the Amalfi Coast, the fish are salt-cured in drums for one year to allow its briny, umami flavor to develop. One squeeze of the tube yields a clean anchovy flavor that’s perfectly balanced with salt, ideal for adding a dab savory depth to dishes without fussing with a whole tin of anchovy fillets.

These spicy anchovies from Italy match a deep umami and oceanic tang with a bright chili finish. We melt them into our favorite marinara sauce, whisk them into dressings for broccoli, cauliflower or Brussels sprouts and blend them with tomatoes, herbs and extra-virgin olive oil for a quick bruschetta topping. Try smashing into softened butter with fresh thyme to put on salmon or our favorite combo, lamb chops.
