Don Bocarte
The Don Bocarte company has needed just a little over 20 years to position itself at the top among producers and distributors of fish preserves worldwide. The secret? Quality and the rigorous work behind every product. Based in Santoña, its Cantabrian anchovies are caught in spring and matured for at least 8 months. Meaty, with a low salt content and excellent cleanliness. To finish, they are preserved with a fruity extra virgin olive oil.
Más información sobre Don Bocarte
A cannery born in Santoña
Don Bocarte was founded in 1997 in Santoña, Cantabria, one of the world’s capitals of anchovies.
The company was created with a clear idea: to elevate preserved fish to a higher gastronomic level, working exclusively with top-quality raw material.
In just a few years, it established itself as one of the leading names in premium preserves in Spain.
The Cantabrian Sea as the origin of everything
The project is deeply connected to the Cantabrian Sea, one of the most highly regarded fishing areas in the world.
This is where its anchovies come from, selected during the fishing season and handcrafted to preserve texture and flavour.
Proximity to the source allows for absolute control over freshness.
Rigorous selection and artisanal production
One of Don Bocarte’s pillars is the strict selection of raw material.
Only fish at its optimal moment is used, with no long-frozen products or harsh industrial processes.
Production is entirely manual, carefully handling each piece to preserve its integrity and natural flavour.
Much more than anchovies
Although Cantabrian anchovies are its flagship product, the range includes other high-end specialities.
Highlights include wild bluefin tuna, belly cuts, octopus in its own juices, and gourmet prepared dishes such as rice-based recipes and premium preserves.
The approach is always the same: quality products treated with respect.
Signature cuisine in preserved format
Don Bocarte has developed a “cuisine” line where preserves come closer to restaurant gastronomy.
Complex recipes, creative combinations, and formats designed to surprise without losing the essence of the product.
A leading gourmet reference from the Cantabrian Sea
Today, Don Bocarte is one of the key names in the high-end Spanish preserves sector.
Its presence in fine dining and specialty shops reinforces its status as a gastronomic product rather than just food.
