Mevalco Don Bocarte Cantabrian Anchovies are truly melt-in-your-mouth, heavenly delicious anchovies that are so good, they can only be eaten just as they are...with some good bread!
Made by Don Bocarte in Northern Spain, these anchovies are only caught between the months of April and June, when the fish are at their peak with the highest fat content. The Cantabrian anchovies are then quickly salted, pressed and cured for 8 months in special barrels. Once the flavour is perfect, they are cleaned and filleted by hand and presented in these beautiful packs.
These really are an anchovy lovers dream!

All the SF and ingredients are curated by Ben and Alice - don’t expect a choice of six different brands of sesame oil (say), expect the one Ben loves and that’s on the shelf in his own kitchen. So many of the items stocked have a story behind them. The recipes on the site are well worth a look - achievable recipes for a busy life that deliver big on flavour. My favourites are the different White Mausu sauces - give everything a good bit of zing, the Don Bicarte Anchovies and of course Tajin.
Nothing but praise for this service. Recipients of the gift boxes were over the moon - carefully curated and presented - a big win
Thank you so much Max - that's really heartwarming to hear. We spent a long time pulling our Somerset Foodie Gift boxes together, carefully curating the ingredients and choosing the books. Only the best from Ben! Really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for being a fab customer.
This is a must try product. In the past I have never been a fan of aubergine but after trying this product at one of Somerset Foodie’s tasting events I’m hooked. I’m now on my 5th jar. Just follow Ben’s recipe and you’ll have a truly delicious and light snack. 5 stars all the way.
Ahh - thanks Paul! That's great to read. We absolutely love making babaganoush with this aubergine puree too. Thanks for taking the time to write a review - it is always so much appreciated. See you guys again soon. Ben and Alice x
Hey Alice, these anchovies are delicous. Juicy and plumb, not too sharp, just the right balance. I had them on a slice of fresh rye bread. So good! If you like sardines, herring, etc... this is for you. And if you live near Bradford-on-Avon, get your rye bread from Pipit.
Fab! Glad you like them as much as we do. We love the three-ingredient sourdough from our friend Joe at the Village Baking Company about 1 minute bike ride away from us here in Rode. Thank you for taking the time to send us feedback, we really appreciate it. See you again soon, Ben and Alice
