A new Italian Geographical Indication adds to the European register. The Colatura di Alici di Cetara PDO has been officially registered in the European Official Journal. This brings Italy to 308 food specialties with a Geographical Indication. Colatura di Alici is a liquid product obtained from the maturation of anchovies (Engraulis encrasicolus L.) in salt.

The appearance of this product must be clear and bright. The color is amber, tending to brown-mahogany. It is characterized by a persistent, intense aroma that recalls the scent of salted anchovies, fresh anchovies and brackish. It has an “umami” taste, strong and with high sapidity due to the use of anchovies and salt as raw materials.
