Delicius Anchovy Paste

Delicius is a prominent Italian brand synonymous with high-quality preserved seafood. Founded in 1974 in Parma, the brand has built a reputation for its premium anchovies, sardines, and mackerel products, which are often processed manually according to traditional methods. The anchovy paste shown is a classic staple of the brand, typically made with Italian Mediterranean anchovies, olive oil, and natural spices.

The company remains a family-owned enterprise through Delicius Rizzoli S.p.A. (not to be confused with the separate Rizzoli Emanuelli brand, though they share historical regional roots). While the brand sources seafood from across the Mediterranean, the final processing and packaging are done primarily in Italy to ensure quality control. The ultimate owner is the Rizzoli family, which continues to operate the business from its headquarters in the heart of Italy's Food Valley in Parma.
