Comments about Anchovy Fillets by Scalia:

Milder than most I've had but goes very well with any dish that you would use this product in. I loved it in salads and pizza or just on a cracker. I must admit, I probably ate 1/3 straight from the jar! These comments are based on the original, extra virgin olive oil. I have not tried the others yet.

Comments about Anchovy Fillets by Scalia:

I mash these anchovies for use in my Caesar salad dressing. They are still the best that I have found, but the price has gone up and the quality seems to be slipping. Previous batches were easy to mash with a fork. The latest batch is tougher.[...]

Comments about Anchovy Fillets by Scalia:

These anchovies are great mashed up and used in a Caesar salad dressing. They impart good anchovy taste without being fishy or too salty. They're just the right size. Other store-bought anchovies don't compare to these. The re-usable jar is nice, too.
