Amore Italian Anchovy Paste Tube, Made in Italy, 1.6 oz, 2 Pack | Made with Sicilian Anchovies, Olive Oil and Sunflower Oil for Authentic Italian Flavor in Everyday Cooking

Full disclosure….this is the first time I’ve ever used Anchovy paste. I’ve started cooking a lot since I retired and discovered a recipe for “Butter of the Gods” after watching steak prep videos on YouTube. I admit to feeling a bit nervous about including Anchovy to the recipe. However, it turned out fantastic and will be a staple in my steak prep going forward. This product arrived quickly, well-packaged and was smooth and creamy and tasted great. One tip…it seems to be packed under slight pressure. So when you open it, be prepared for a little to immediately ooze out when you open the seal. Will definitely order again.

I haven't been able to find this at local supermarkets for a while, so I decided to try this. So much better than the American brand I've bought all my life. Great for Caesar's salad, mixed with cream cheese on a bagel, on pizza... I really like it. 👍

These have earned a place in my pantry. They were delivered on time, with more than a year of remaining 'Use By..." time. Very easy to add a dab of flavor to our made from scratch pizza at home or to a Caesar salad by adding thin stripes of the paste to the inside of the spines of the Romaine salad leaves simulating the taste of whole sardines. Do not have to keep open cans of sardines in the refrigerator. The flavor seems just a tiny bit muted compared to whole sardines in a can, but I did not do a direct comparison, just from memory. Very easy to control the amount of flavor you are adding.

Not a connoisseur of anchovy paste but the price and product is fine with me.I came back to buy some more, and almost bought the Amazon's choice Giovannis anchovy paste because you get more than 50% for the same money. Then I read the ingredients. Giovannis contains sugar and spices. Why would Anchovy paste need sugar? I avoid products with added sugar when I can and why do they need to add spices?...isn't that my job as a cook to add spices? I just want anchovy paste. This Amore product lists anchovies, salt, sunflower and olive oil, thats it. Disappointed about the sunflower oil, but still a pretty clean ingredients list.

We have a Caesar salad with our homemade spicy dressing at least 5 nights a week. When the pandemic hit we discovered that a lot of other folks must do so as well since the grocery store was completely sold out of anchovy paste, not to mention garlic too. To all the 'purists' out there I know I am supposed to use whole anchovies and pound them to a paste, but that is too much work not the most pleasant of kitchen fragrances. Also, it won't keep very long. In any case when I switched over to using the paste, neither of us could tell the difference, probably because we use a number of non-mainstream ingredients in our dressing. But I digress... Ordered this brand of anchovy paste on-line and although it was initially backlogged, it arrived right before it was time to whip up a new batch. It is good of quality and texture and I am going to continue buying this from amazon rather than return to purchasing in the store. When I open the 2nd tube I know it is time fro me to place an order. And what a quinky-dink, as I am finishing this review my wife stuck here head in the office to tell me I need to whip up a batch soon. Paraphrasing Mighty Mouse" There I go to save the day!

Aside from the usual applications reviewed by many, I would like to point out an additional use.Dissolve this paste in small quantities to sauces such as spaghetti. No one will ever suspect what it is, but they will notice an added depth and complexity of flavor that is impressive.Once I discovered this I have found it broadly useful, as well as economical and long lasting.

I love this paste. I use it foe homemade Caeser salad dressing. I cant find it at my grocery store so I'm glad they have it here. It's rich and salty just as it should be.

I use anchovy in many of my sauces and recipes and I find the variety that is in a tube to be very convenient. I don't use very much so it is nice not to have to open a jar or can of anchovies and worry about the rest going to waste. Flavor and price of this item are excellent.
