Ferrigno Anchovy Spread

Ferrigno has been canning fish on the French Mediterranean coast for over seventy years, packing under the La Bonne Mer label from their cannery at Port Saint Louis du Rhône. This is a very different product from their tinned fish range — and from a standard anchovy paste.

Anchoïade is a classic Provençal condiment: anchovies, garlic and olive oil worked into a smooth, intensely savoury preparation that has been spread on bread and served with vegetables on the coast of southern France for generations. Ferrigno’s version takes that base — anchovy paste, extra virgin olive oil and garlic — and adds milk proteins and rapeseed oil to create something lighter and creamier than a pure paste. The result is a mousse: spreadable, aromatic and rich without the weight of a traditional anchovy paste.

It’s more approachable than it sounds. The anchovy flavour is full and present but rounded by the oil and the milk proteins; the garlic adds depth without dominating. A cook’s essential that doubles as an aperitif spread.

Spread thickly on toasted baguette or crostini. Use as a dip for crudités — celery, fennel, chicory, radishes. Stir a spoonful into warm pasta with a handful of parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Or dissolve into butter for finishing grilled fish and steaks.
