What better way to welcome spring than with some delicious anchovies from l’Escala and a Miró vermouth? The renowned gourmet selection of Gourmet La Vanguardia has made it possible for you to enjoy this unique and local combination this year in the comfort of your home.
Despite being located some 200 kilometers apart, Anxoves de l’Escala-M.Sureda and Vermuts Miró share a deep connection with their land and their commitment to tradition and authenticity in their products. Together, they are the perfect duo for any appetizer with a flavor of sea and land.
A legacy of generations
Since 1940, Anxoves de l’Escala-M.Sureda has earned worldwide recognition thanks to its prestigious brand “l’Escala” and its anchovy salting technique, becoming one of the most outstanding companies on the planet. Its elegant and brilliant reddish color, its marine aroma and its iodized flavor are widely recognized as a true delicacy throughout the world.
The elaboration process of the Anxoves de l’Escala is carried out by master anchovies and “anxoveres”, who carefully select the best fish and supervise the natural maturation process of the anchovies in drums for a minimum of 6 months and up to 2 years. For their part, the “anxoveres” women of L’Escala have been in charge of carefully searing, seasoning, placing and filleting the anchovies for generations, keeping the process intact and characterized by its delicacy and know-how.
high quality ingredients
In addition to the famous anchovies from l’Escala, the gourmet selection of Gourmet La Vanguardia also offers other outstanding products from Anxoves de l’Escala, such as sardines and anchovy fillets in olive oil and salted. All products are made with high quality ingredients, which gives them a smooth and pleasant flavor.
Salted anchovy fillets are left in their own brine, which gives them a more intense and salty flavor, and they are ideal to enjoy as an appetizer or to incorporate into different dishes such as salads, pizzas or toasts. In addition, being made by hand, they maintain all the flavor and quality of the raw material.
A vermouth with history
Founded in 1914 in Cornudella de Montsant (Priorat) by the Miró family, Vermouths Miró has been making the best vermouth on the market for more than 100 years. In 1957, the company moved to Reus, where it has focused on the production of packaged products, and in particular on the creation of the classic ‘Vermut de Reus’. Currently, Miró continues to dedicate himself to making the best vermouth, so that it can be enjoyed at any time.
An award-winning Reserve
In recent years, the vermouth from Vermuts Miró has been the subject of multiple accolades from lovers of this drink. In particular, the Miró Reserva has been awarded various medals and recognitions, the most recent of which is a Superior Taste Award given by the International Taste Institute in Brussels.
Miró Reserva is made according to the old formula of the Miró family, raised using the “soleras” method and bottled after a long maceration process with a wide variety of natural herbs, combined to achieve its inimitable flavor. Its color is amber, evolving towards brick tones, sharp and bright.
Miró Reserva vermouth is one of the stars of the new Gourmet La Vanguardia proposal. It is accompanied by three delicious proposals from Anxoves de l’Escala: sardines in olive oil, anchovy fillets in olive oil and salted anchovy fillets.
To complete your aperitif, the pack also includes Sal de Ibiza potato chips, Conserve della Mamma semi-dried tomatoes and a package of mossen toast from La Cala Albert Adrià. An essential pack for all people who know how to appreciate a good aperitif in company and that you can find in the Gourmet La Vanguardia online store.
