Colatura di Alici Fish Sauce from Campania Italy

Hard to find savory sauce to add to Italian style sauces. Makes dishes better. A little goes a long way

One needs to know what one is buying. This is not a pricey “substitute” for anchovy paste although the two seek to accomplish the very same thing. UMAMI. I use quality Vietnamese Red Boat when that is appropriate and Sicilian aged sauces when appropriate. This product is superb and I never hesitate to buy it.

An essential in my kitchen. I use this to upgrade soups, sauces, and other dishes.

The picture doesn’t match the product. It is bottled in a less aesthetically pleasing bottle. The product itself is difficult to describe. It is simultaneously full of flavor, yet somehow bland when tasting it from the bottle. Truly unlike anything I’ve ever had. I add some to any beef dish, with positive results. Really adds flavor, especially when reduced.

Bought this because of a video I saw on how to prepare Spaghetti con la Colatura di Alice on Elizabeth Minchili's blog. Excellent instruction. All you need is colatura, olive oil, parsley, garlic and breadcrumbs. Then watch and follow the video exactly. It is a revelation. Easy, sophisticated and delicious. You will always want this pricey item in your pantry. Its cheaper than fish or steak and once you have the knack you will impress everyone.

While the item tastes like others, the item received was not what was advertised by the seller.

Taste great

Don’t expect the bottle in the picture since that’s not the one you get. Adds tons of flavor to many different recipes
