Yurrita

Cantabrian anchovies, boquerones & more since 1867

Yurrita is a five-generation family business from Mutriku (Basque Country), founded in 1867. The house specializes in fish preserves in premium olive oil: Cantabrian anchovies (anchoas), boquerones (anchovies marinated in vinegar), bonito del norte and sardines. Everything is processed by hand—from filleting and deboning to careful salting, maturation and packing—resulting in pure flavor, refined texture and consistent quality trusted by chefs, retailers and gourmets.

Assortment at a glance

Anchoas and boquerones: classic Basque contrast—salty and savory (anchoas) versus fresh and lively (boquerones).
Bonito del norte: delicate white tuna, velvety in olive oil; ideal for pintxos and salads.
Sardinas: small in size, big in flavor; subtly smoky and full-bodied.
Fish preserves

Hand-processed fish preserves in premium olive oil with pure flavor, fine texture and consistently top quality.
